High Winds Blow Semi Over in Sibley County

High winds late Saturday morning blew a semi over in Sibley County.

The Sheriff’s Office says at just after 11:30am, they responded to a roll-over type crash on Highway 22 near the intersection of 256th Lane, 2 miles north of Gaylord.

The crash occurred when a semi tractor-trailer was pushed off the roadway due to the strong winds.

The driver of the vehicle, 75-year-old Charles Zachow of Redwood Falls, was not injured but needed to be extracted from the vehicle.
