    This from KSTP.com's website.

    Eastbound Interstate 94 is closed, and a driver is missing after a semi slid off the freeway in western Wisconsin.
    The State Patrol says the semi jack-knifed on the snow covered road and landed in the Red Cedar River near Menomonie around 4 a.m. Tuesday.
    A dive team has been called in to search for the semi driver.
    There's no immediate word on the driver's condition. The semi is from Michigan.
    Motorists are being rerouted through Menomonie and back on to the interstate.
    It could be hours before eastbound 94 reopens.

    I hope they got out of there but doesn't look like it if divers were called in. It's good to take it slow in these conditions though many don't.

    I know I can't afford to get that kind of press. I want to be famous one day, but not this way. RIP to the drivers if they fell into that freezing water.
