A Stewartville man was transported to St. Mary's Hospital following a crash involving a semi-truck that blocked traffic on Highway 63 just north of Stewartville Tuesday night.

The Minnesota State Patrol says 53-year-old Steven Schultz was driving an SUV north on Highway 63 when he collided with the trailer on a semi-truck that was blocking the northbound lanes while the driver was waiting for a break in southbound traffic after exiting westbound I-90. Reports indicate the SUV became wedged under the truck trailer and emergency responders had to extricate Schultz from his vehicle. A Mayo Clinic spokesperson says Schultz is hospitalized in fair condition.

The State Patrol report also indicates alcohol may have contributed to the crash, which was reported around 10:40 p.m.
