Starting at 12:30 pm, a semi jackknifed near Wilder, another at 4:03 pm west of Lakefield, another at 8:29 pm near Alpha, as well as a semi driver whose brakes locked up east of Jackson.
Semis weren't the only vehicles with issues during this storm, with a crash reported at 7:32 pm near Heron Lake, a vehicle stuck in a ditch at 8:57 pm near Sioux Valley, and another at 10:24 pm near Heron Lake. That vehicle needed help from Cottonwood County's plows in rescuing the occupants. That vehicle was in the drift due to conditions.
