MONTICELLO, Minn. — A bicyclist is dead after being hit by a semi that was on a ramp exiting I-94 in Monticello Monday morning.
The Minnesota State Patrol posted on its website that the incident occurred just before 7:45 a.m. The patrol says a Peterbilt semi pulling a dump trailer was exiting the interstate on the ramp to northbound Highway 25 when it made contact with a bicyclist at the intersection.
Highway 25 is a busy route that cuts right through the middle of Monticello. Several lanes were closed through the Monday morning rush as the crash scene was reconstructed and cleared.
At this point it is not clear whether the driver of the semi will face charges in the fatal incident.
