A crash on Interstate 94 kills six men.

It happened just before 11 o'clock this morning near Jamestown.

The Highway Patrol says all six men were in a pickup truck that was westbound on the highway.

Authorities say the crash happened when driver of the pickup lost control, went through the median, and was t-boned on the passenger side by a semi-trailer in the eastbound lane.

Three of the men in the pickup were ejected from the vehicle.

A 23-year old Mandan driving the semitrailer was treated at a Jamestown hospital for minor injuries.

The names of the victims will not be released until tomorrow.
