LAMOURE, N.D. (AP) – A semitrailer crash in southeastern North Dakota killed a number of turkeys.
The Highway Patrol says the semi went out of control on a curve on a county road near LaMoure about 9 p.m. Monday and landed on its side in the ditch.
The semi was hauling a flatbed trailer with cages of turkeys, and the patrol says “a large percentage” of the birds were killed. Authorities did not give a specific number.
Fifty-nine-year-old driver Lavern Lentz, of Huron, South Dakota, was flown to an Aberdeen hospital with what the patrol said were serious injuries.
