Valley City, North Dakota — Earlier in November, a man from Cokato, MN was killed in rural North Dakota after his car was in an accident along I-94. Gregory Hillukka, 40, was killed on Wednesday, November 5, after his car crashed into a tow truck, police said.
It happened close to Valley City, though the exact location wasn’t given. Police said that Hillukka had been driving his car along I-94 that day when he lost control on some ice.
His car slid into a tow truck that had stopped to help some stranded cars on the side of the road, some of which that had crashed into a ditch. Hillukka’s car was badly damaged in the accident and he was declared dead immediately.
The tow truck was actually not inside his tow truck at the time, so he was unharmed by the accident. So far, it looks like weather and ice were factors in Hillukka losing control of his car, but the state Highway Patrol said they’d take a closer look at the situation in their upcoming investigation. It’s been weeks since the accident and they haven’t released any more information.
