Minnesota Man Injured in Rollover Crash on I-94

DUNN COUNTY, WI — A 31-year-old Minnesota man was seriously injured in a rollover crash in Wisconsin early Monday morning after the vehicle he was driving struck the rear of a semi-trailer while on I-94.

The State Patrol received a report of a one vehicle rollover crash with injuries just before 5 a.m. Monday on Interstate 94 westbound at mile marker 55. Both west bound lanes were closed for approximately 15 minutes while the driver, 31 year old Brian Birdsall from Pine City, Minnesota, was airlifted from the scene due to his injuries.

State Patrol was contacted a short time later by a semi driver who had stated he thought he had a flat trailer tire. After arriving at the repair shop he located part of the front bumper cover and a registration plate belonging to the car involved in the rollover.

Birdsall's vehicle had struck the rear of the semi-trailer before losing control and rolling over. The crash remains under investigation.
