IOWA (KETV) — An Iowa State Patrol vehicle was destroyed after it was struck by a semitruck during Sunday night’s winter storm.
According to Sgt. Alex Dinkla, the trooper was on the scene of several semitrucks that had already crashed and were stuck in the roadway near Interstate 80’s mile marker 175.
The trooper was already out of his vehicle and was walking back to it when he watched another semi lose control and crash into the back of the Tahoe. No injuries were reported.
The Iowa DOT eventually closed I-80 from Pottawattamie County to Coralville. It remains closed as of 7:30 a.m. Monday.
