Today at approximately 9:58 AM Officers of the Grand Forks Police Dept. were dispatched to a report of a vehicle that drove into freshly poured concrete at 32nd Avenue South and South 31st Street in Grand Forks.
Reports indicated that a 2013 Nissan Murano driven by a 79-year-old Grand Forks resident mistakenly drove around some traffic cones and into a closed lane that had freshly poured concrete. The vehicle became stuck and had to be removed by an on-site construction tractor.
There were no reported injuries and the driver of the vehicle was issued a citation for Care Required. The damage to the concrete was repaired by crews shortly after the vehicle was removed.
The Grand Forks Police Department would like to use this opportunity to remind the public to use caution when driving through construction zones.
