There may be snow for plowing in parts of the region on Thursday — but on Wednesday, it was spilled corn that needed clearing from a southern Minnesota highway.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation said crews used a snowplow to clear that spill after a truck overturned on a freeway on-ramp.
It happened along U.S. Highway 52 just north of Rochester. MnDOT said a truck rounding the on-ramp from 75th Street Northwest onto southbound Highway 52 tipped over and spilled its cargo of corn.
The southbound lanes reopened at about 10:30 a.m., after a closure of several hours during the morning commute.
There were no immediate reports of injuries from the crash.
