ND soldier directing traffic injured in crash

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Bismarck man is accused of causing a wreck that injured a North Dakota National Guard soldier who had been directing traffic for flood relief.

The Bismarck Tribune reports that 23-year-old Jonathan Christopher Frye was charged Friday with leaving the scene of an accident, driving under the influence and driving without liability insurance.

Authorities say a 24-year-old Guard soldier from Fargo was directing traffic related to flood preparations in south Bismarck. Frye is accused of hitting a vehicle, which hit the soldier, then driving off.

The military says the Fargo soldier needed stitches and had a bruised shoulder.

Authorities found Frye at a home and arrested him.
