The Peterbilt truck headed northeast swerved into the ditch to avoid Schieno, but his Buick hit the truck on the driver’s side.
Schieno died at the scene of the crash, the patrol said. The truck driver, 56-year-old James Wingert, of Minot, was not injured.
Schieno was not wearing a seatbelt, a patrol report indicated.
