(KNSI) - A semi driver will be OK, but his load of tater tots is a total loss, after a crash on Interstate 94 in Saint Joseph Township.

The crash happened at around 8:15 Friday night on eastbound 94, just west of Highway 23.



The Minnesota State Patrol says Peter J. Budding, of Richer, Manitoba, drove onto the shoulder, was unable to correct and went into the median and rolled.



Richer was taken to St. Cloud Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.



The state patrol says he was wearing his seat belt.



The refrigerated semi tractor trailer combination was carrying thousands of pounds of tater tots.
