Video showed the driver of a white sedan careening up an on-ramp and colliding with the box truck moments before the truck driver loses control.
The box truck driver crashes into the overpass bridge divider, nearly tumbling to the interstate below. A ball of flames erupts from underneath the truck, quickly engulfing the front of the vehicle.
The driver of the box truck was able to exit through the passenger-side door without apparent injury. The Minnesota State Patrol told WCCO-TV that the driver of the white sedan had non-life-threatening injuries. The Patrol was investigating the driver of the sedan for possible impairment.
The crash caused the overpass bridge and eastbound traffic on Highway 10 to be closed for several hours.
