SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – Authorities say a locomotive sliced open a semitrailer near the entrance of Kent Foods in Sioux City. The accident occurred around 4:30 p.m. Monday after the truck turned into a parking lot. Police say the truck driver couldn’t see the train. No injuries have been reported.

Workers had to clean up the trailer’s load of cattle feed supplement, which spilled out when the locomotive hit the trailer.
