Cook County Law Enforcement received a call at 5:13 p.m. on Wednesday, October 19 from a concerned motorist on Highway 61 in the Lutsen area, reporting that a semi had lost two rear tires on its trailer. The motorist said the vehicle was sending up sparks and making a lot of noise. The caller was worried that the truck would lose its load.
State Patrol Officer Aaron Schmidt responded and observed pieces of truck tire at mile marker 88, between Lutsen Resort and the Sea Villas. He found the truck, a 2000 Western, driven by Brian Berglund, 54, Grand Marais, pulled over in Schroeder. The truck had lost two rear-axle tires on the passenger side.
Schmidt said no citation was issued.
