ORR, MN (KDAL) – A semi loaded with timber damaged the gas pumps at the Pelican Bay IGA on Friday.
According to the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Department, the driver was unaware he had hit anything and continued northbound on Highway 53 until stopped by the Minnesota State Patrol.
Surveillance video showed that logs that were hanging out beyond the end of the trailer struck 8 fuel pumps and caused substantial damage.
The incident is being investigated as an accident and no charges have been filed against the driver.
An automatic internal shutoff system prevented gas from leaking from the damaged pumps.
