Overview

  • Just before 11 a.m. on May 30 a westbound semi-truck carrying ammunition struck the Lowry Hill Tunnel wall and rolled over.
  • The driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries and no other vehicles were involved.
  • The tunnel was closed in both directions for several hours while crews cleared debris that spilled into eastbound lanes.
  • About an hour after the crash a passenger in a separate vehicle died of a medical emergency near Lyndale Avenue on westbound I-94.
  • Authorities confirmed the woman’s death was unrelated to the crash and the investigation into the cause of the rollover remains ongoing.
