ESMOND, N.D. (AP) - The North Dakota Highway Patrol says the driver of a pickup truck has died in a fiery crash with a semi in Benson County.

The patrol says the crash at a Highway 19 intersection near Esmond Saturday afternoon happened when the pickup driver missed a stop sign, was struck by the semi and caught fire. Officials say the road was wet at the time because of light rain.

A 33-year-old Mandan man driving the semi was not injured.
