Does anyone know why IH 35 was shut down today?

I was at IKEA today and northbound IH 35 was shut down by police where I saw an officer with a weapon drawn pointing down the highway at someone. I can't stop wondering what was going on but I can't find anything online.

Yes that must be it. I saw a litter pickup sign and thought that might have something to do with it. On my way there they were combing that grassy area and only the frontage road was closed, on my way back the highway was stopped and they were on the road probably apprehending the driver.

Thanks for finding this!

I was stuck in the congestion on my way out to Ikea today and was wondering the same. That poor man and his loved ones.

Yes, I drove past it right after it happened. A road worker was killed by a pickup truck. So sad. I saw the guy lying on the ground and was praying that he was ok, but he wasnt.
