(Altoona, Iowa) – Officials with the Iowa State Patrol report Troopers removed a semi tractor-trailer from service, Sunday, after they said the trailer was “nearly in pieces.” In a social media post, the state patrol says the driver was pulled over near Altoona. The driver was traveling from Omaha to Chicago to pick up a load and thought he could travel in darkness to avoid being stopped. (Photos via the ISP Facebook page)

Troopers say the driver had no logs and no explanation as to why his trailer was damaged. It is not clear if the driver was cited.
