"BREMEN – Traffic is flowing again on US 6 in Marshall County after a deadly traffic crash Wednesday morning.
The accident happened around 6:15 a.m. just outside the Pla-Mor Campground, leaving one person dead.
Police say an SUV was driving east, veered into the other lane and collided head-on with a semi.
The sun was bad in the area at the time, so police are investigating to see if the driver may have been blinded, though that has not been confirmed.
The driver of the SUV died despite wearing a seat belt. The crash caused the semi to catch on fire but the driver of the rig got out safely.
US 6 was closed in both directions for more than 4 1/2 hours, but the Marshall County Sheriff's Department says the highway has reopened.
Stay tuned to WSBT for updates throughout the day."

Location: Ste. Anne, Manitoba, Canada
Vehicle(s) Involved: Chevy Blazer, Ford Explorer

"A man is facing charges of impaired driving causing death in a crash that closed part of the Trans-Canada Highway east of Winnipeg on Friday.
The collision happened at about 6 a.m. on the Trans-Canada between highways 206 and 207, near the town of Ste. Anne.
According to RCMP spokesman Cpl. Miles Hiebert, a Chevy Blazer was rear-ended by a Ford Explorer. The impact was so hard the Blazer was sent flying, end over end.
Both vehicles ended up in the ditch with the Blazer being torn apart in the process and left almost unrecognizable, standing on its nose in the grass.
The 22-year-old driver of that vehicle was ejected during the rollover and died. The name of the man, from the Rural Municipality of Ste. Anne, is not being made public, RCMP said.
The 26-year-old driver of the other vehicle is in hospital. That man, also from the RM of Ste. Anne, is facing the drunk driving charges and is scheduled to appear in Winnipeg provincial court on Aug. 17.
The westbound lanes of the Trans-Canada in that area were closed to traffic until just before noon."

"Police are investigating after an SUV rolled into a ditch north of Toronto Saturday night, killing its driver.
Peel Regional Police were called to the single-motor vehicle crash in King Township at 8:50 p.m. where they found the SUV resting in the south-bound ditch of the road.
The motorist was pronounced dead at the scene after his grey-coloured vehicle "rolled over and over" again on Concession Road 11 south of Sideroad 15, Insp. Gary Minor told CTV Toronto.
Minor said from the debris and tire marks, investigators believe the driver had somehow lost control of the vehicle but "what made the operator loose control is of interest to us."
Police said the driver had somehow been ejected from the SUV.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Traffic Reconstruction at 905-830-0303 ext. 7704 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS."

"ATLANTA (CBS ATLANTA) -
The driver of a stolen car died after crashing the car during a police chase in Buckhead Wednesday morning.
Police said the incident began when an officer was handling a report of a stolen vehicle.  When the officer put the description of the stolen vehicle over the radio, another officer spotted it traveling on Peachtree Road.
The officer attempted to stop the vehicle, police said. The driver pulled over, but when the officer got out of his patrol car, the driver fled, according to police.
After a short chase, the stolen vehicle ran a red light and struck another vehicle at the intersection of Peachtree Battle Avenue.  A third vehicle was also struck.
The driver of the stolen vehicle was trapped in the car briefly, police said.
"The firemen came," said Lola  Rocquemore, who works nearby. "They got the jaws of life and they cut the man out, and they brought him out and they put him on a stretcher.  He wasn't moving when they took him out. I just pray for him and for all of the people."
The driver was taken to Grady Hospital in critical condition and taken into surgery.  At 10:25 a. m. he died.  Police have not identified the suspect.
Paramedics also rushed the drivers of the other two cars to hospitals. Their injuries did not appear to be life threatening, police said."
