ST. PAUL (WJON News) - Minnesota’s icy conditions over the weekend led to hundreds of crashes, including a semi losing its trailer in Bloomington that was caught on tape. Officials say there were over 300 crashes between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.

In a bizarre crash caught on camera, a semi-truck and trailer enter a cloverleaf exchange on Highway 169 and I-494 (at about:15 on the video). When the truck comes back into the frame a few seconds later, it appears the trailer has disconnected from the truck.

Authorities say no one was injured in the crash, but westbound I-494 was closed for a while Monday morning as crews cleared the scene.

The Minnesota State Patrol is prepared for a busy Monday, as officers say the holiday weekend may mean more drivers on the road.
