Curfew violators will be billed for rescue costs
WORTHINGTON, Minn. –State troopers blocked all Interstate 90 access ramps for 45 miles to the South Dakota border as a major storm rampaged into Minnesota from the west. Cameras showed white-out conditions. Any travelers who somehow venture onto I-90 or other closed roads will be liable for all related rescue costs, the Patrol said. Closed also were these state highways in southwest Minnesota: 23, 59, 60, 75, 91 and 270. How long will the routes be close: Until the blowing and drifting lets up and plows can go out.
