The 21-year-old driver of a semi truck travelling in North Dakota has died after a crash caused the hot tar he was hauling to spill into his cab, burning most of his body. Bradley Jackson, from Woodlands, Man., died in hospital Saturday at the Hennepin County Medical Center burn unit in Minneapolis, Minn., his mother, Rose Walder, confirmed to CBC. CBC contacted North Dakota State Highway Patrol for details and was told the earliest they could provide information would likely be Monday.

The money will help the family with travel costs down to the United States and back to Winnipeg, said Brydges.
