Interstate 29 from exits 60 to 56 (South Fargo) is temporarily closed overnight (9pm to 5am) due to construction of overhead beams. This closure will occur some nights for the next two weeks. A detour to County 81 is in place. Follow the sign and everyone will be fine. #NDHP283
@NDHighwayPatrol The Fargo trailer is off to a great start! Huge thanks to those who have donated so far and we hope to have the trailer full by the end of the day!
Today this semi tire was saved from being damaged from any passing vehicles. Wait, maybe that’s the other way around? Through this busy travel weekend we remind everyone to drive safe. Troopers will be out on patrol all weekend to ensure everyone gets home safe! #NDHP283
Why do we stress about speed? The faster you go, the less traction available to negotiate a curve. Fortunately this driver is alive after failing to negotiate a curve from 32nd Ave S to an I29 ramp and overturning (Fargo). 61, sunny, and dry. Zero excuses. #NDHP283#VisionZeroND
After a busy weekend, Fargo Troopers are still gathering evidence today. Multiple preventable crashes resulted in fatalities, injuries, & property damage. Please drive sober, obey the speed limit, & eliminate distractions. We want everyone to arrive alive. #NDHP283#VisionZeroND
This rider is lucky to be alive after failing to negotiate a curve and running off the road. The rider was not wearing a helmet, suffering serious injuries to the head. Remember: All The Gear, All The Time! Many fatals occur annually due to no helmets. #VisionZeroND#NDHP283
@FargoPolice@CassNDSheriff The situation has been resolved. Crews are now working to reopen traffic back to normal. We want to thank the majority of the motoring public for their patience and understanding.
Fargo area update: Fargo PD is handling a call with an individual at 45th Street/I94 in Fargo. Motorists are asked to avoid I94 from I29 to Veterans Boulevard due to a road closure at this time. We will advise when the situation is resolved. @FargoPolice@CassNDSheriff#NDHP283
Today a Fargo Trooper stopped this car going 108 mph (75 zone), no seat belt, & failing to maintain lane. The driver was arrested for DUI, refusing testing. DUI driving, speeding, & no seat belt use continue to be top factors in fatalities in ND, even during the day. #NDHP283
Not our typical “crash” day! Just before 4 pm, Fargo Troopers responded to a downed aircraft just NW of West Fargo. The pilot was the only occupant and was transported for serious injuries. This is one of two plane crashes the NDHP assisted with statewide today. #NDHP283
Fargo Troops are currently working the scene of a minor injury crash with disabled vehicles at the Tri-Level. Westbound traffic is restricted to one lane. As a reminder, be cautious of slowing traffic and changing conditions, especially during the afternoon rush. #NDHP283
April showers bring... construction season? 🤔 I forget the saying, but as a reminder to all motorists, be sure to keep an eye out for your favorite orange signs. Give our awesome road crews👷🏼♂️ a brake so that everyone stays safe! @NorthDakotaDOT@VisionZeroND#NDHP283
Tonight, troopers in the Ward County area will be conducting a DUI Checkpoint and Saturation. Working with the Ward County Sheriff's Department, our goal is to ensure everyone is driving sober. $10 Lyft Vouchers (Code NDSOBERRIDE) are offered by #VisionZeroND thru 3/31. #NDHP283
The Minot area is being blanketed in snow, making travel very difficult. Slow down, buckle up, headlights on, and cruise off! ABS/AWD won’t save you with poor traction. This driver was lucky to not be seriously injured on 52 near Sawyer after a crash with a semi. #NDHP283
What wind chill? This afternoon these hardened Minot troops braved the cold for over an hour to measure a serious injury crash from last night near Carpio, ND. They can’t pick the weather, but they did choose to ensure crashes like this are professionally investigated. #NDHP250
This photo was taken near Bottineau tonight. This is just the air temp, with wind chills nearing 30s below zero. These temps can be deadly, so be sure to have a winter survival kit in your vehicle. Items to carry can be found at https://t.co/M6P3ujUJfb. Drive safe and stay warm!
The start of a new journey began today. I accepted a promotion to Sergeant and will be heading up to Minot to serve in the Northwest region. I am honored and excited for this adventure. Thankful to my wife @BrittanyMalafa for the support in pinning on the stripes! #NDHP250
