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.

HINTON, Iowa (AP) – The owner of a tubing course and campground in northwest Iowa says a Plymouth County decision means his business won’t open as scheduled in May. The Sioux City Journal reports that the county’s Board of Adjustment voted Monday to deny a conditional use permit for Pipe Dream Camping and Tubing. Board chairwoman Nancy Anderson says there have been public complaints and safety issues at the facility, which sits two miles north of Hinton along the Floyd River.

Pipe Dream owner Brandon Bradshaw says there’s never been a safety-related incident at his facility. His five-year permit expires in May. He says Pipe Dream won’t open this year. Anderson says the board asked Bradshaw for a plan to address safety issues and says he can appeal the board’s decision in court.
