The pickup truck was traveling west on I-94 when the driver lost control, and the vehicle went over a median. The pickup was then hit by the semi, which was traveling east on the interstate, The Forum reported.
Three of the pickup’s passengers were thrown from the vehicle, and all six — none of whom was wearing seat belts — were killed. The driver of the semi, a 23-year-old, was taken to Jamestown Regional Medical Center for minor injuries.
The fatal accident took place at about 10:30 a.m., and at that time roads in Jamestown were icy and had slick compacted snow, according to The Forum.
Authorities said that it was the worst accident, in terms of the number of fatalities, in recent memory in North Dakota.
