Traffic on I-35W North Comes to Complete Standstill After Multi-Car Crash

A massive pileup resulted in plenty of headaches for those getting to work, but no injuries.

Morning commuters were in for an ugly surprise this morning: A giant pileup in the northbound lanes of Interstate 35 that brought the road to a total stop, closing all lanes.

Lt. Eric Roeske of the Minnesota State Patrol told KARE 11 that the crash involved seven to eight vehicles, including a semi-tractor trailer. The crash occurred at the ramp merging I-35W and Cliff Road, a junction that has been in the news often in recent months. In early September, one Burnsville woman was left in critical condition after a three-car pileup at the same spot.
