At approximately 11:30 p.m., Sergeant Albright was working an incident involving multiple semi-trucks that had crashed and were stuck on I-80 near mile marker 175, just south of Kellogg. As he walked back to his patrol Tahoe, another semi-truck lost control and collided with the vehicle. No injuries were reported.
The incident was one of many weather-related issues on Iowa roads Sunday night and into Monday morning, as high winds caused widespread problems across the state. Most of Interstate 80 in central Iowa was closed during the period.
