Early on Monday evening, May 4, a Fargo man died in a tractor trailer accident on U.S. Highway 2.

According to the North Dakota Highway Patrol, the accident happened shortly before 6 p.m. about two and a half miles east of Niagara in western Grand Forks County. The driver, 45 year old Christopher Thorseth from Fargo, was taking a load of cement bags from Fargo to Williston. He was driving west on U.S. Highway 2, when, for reasons as yet unknown, his 2007 International semi drifted into the median. He tried to turn the truck back onto the road but the vehicle rolled over and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

His name was not released immediately until his family had been informed, and the crash is still under investigation by the Highway Patrol.
