(Worthington, Mn.)– The driver of a truck that collided with the supports of an I-90 overpass early Monday near Worthington, Minnesota walked away from the wreckage uninjured.

No injuries were reported to Oleksiuk. A passenger, 47-year-old Andrew Strutynsky of Glenn Allen, Illinois, was treated and released at the Worthington hospital for bumps and bruises.
The truck was totaled.
The crash took place shortly after 3:00 a.m. Monday.
