An accident Tuesday afternoon near Menlo involving a semi on Interstate 80, resulted in one person being sent to the hospital. The Iowa State Patrol reports 59-year old Andrew Burch, of Huntsville, AL, was driving a 2015 International semi eastbound on I-80 about a two-miles east of the Menlo exit at around 3:15-p.m., when the truck — registered to New Prime, Inc., out of Springfield, MO. — left the road and entered the south ditch before it came to rest.

A strong cross wind caused an accident Tuesday afternoon on Interstate 80 near Shelby. The Iowa State Patrol says 55-year old Douglas Meeder, of Lake Station, IN, was driving a 2010 Freightliner semi eastbound on I-80 just before 6-p.m., when a gust of wind caused the semi trailer’s roof to tear off. As a result, the bed of the trailer collapsed, and broke in-half under the weight of a 42,000 pound load. The semi was registered to Sterling Express, LTS, out of Valparaiso, IN.

Meeder was transported by Shelby Rescue to Myrtue Memorial Hospital, for treatment of undisclosed, possible injuries.
