New driving hazard for Minnesotans: hay in the highway

Minnesotans are accustomed to dealing with snow on the highway but on Thursday morning drivers on I-94 eastbound near Highway 34 near Snelling Avenue had to contend with a different type of hazard: bales of hay that had been dumped in the road. MnDot crews cleared the incidents at Hwy 94, while the State Patrol cleared the hay on highway 36. A State Patrol spokesperson said the spill there happened when a truck hauling hay hit an overpass bridge.
