A collision between two semi-tractor trailers that took place at around 4:30-this (Thursday) morning in Adair County, resulted in Interstate 80 being blocked for the part of the morning commute. According to the Iowa State Patrol, the driver of one semi was traveling west on I-80, when his rig lost a tire and crashed into a second, parked semi.

The Iowa State patrol said the crash caused both trucks to catch fire. Both drivers suffered minor injuries. Firefighters closed a portion of I-80 in both directions because water caused the hoses used to extinguish the flames to ice over.
