HARWOOD, N.D.-A jackknifed semi blocked eastbound traffic on I-94 near here for about three hours early Tuesday morning, according to highway patrol officials.

Reyes, of Yakima, Wash., tried to steer the semi back onto the roadway to the right, but instead the semi jackknifed and rolled onto the driver's side, blocking both eastbound lanes of the interstate.
The crash forced traffic up and around onto eastbound exit 310.
Niewind said the road was cleared by about 5:45 a.m. The semi was totaled.
