MOWER COUNTY, Minn. - A livestock trailer carrying pigs caught fire Tuesday morning in Mower County and closed a portion of I-90. The road reopened just before 10 a.m.

The eastbound lane of I-90 near Dexter was closed due to the fire and a 52-year-old Charles City man was taken to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

A KIMT reporter on the scene said some of the pigs were killed in the fire while others were roaming the road.

The driver, David Hoover, was eastbound on I-90 when the semi lost control and hit the guard rail and bridge, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.

The semi started on fire after it came to rest.

MSP, Rose Creek Fire, Mayo Ambulance and MnDOT assisted on the scene.

The crash happened at 3:08 a.m.

Grabbing video now. One semi trailer appeared to hold livestock, and I saw some fire fighters ushering pigs on the side of the road. Tune into Daybreak for info. #rochmn https://t.co/8nQPgm0oSZ — Annalisa Pardo (@ApardoReports) October 1, 2019
