LE MARS, Iowa (AP) — A semitractor-trailer carrying raw turkey was sliced in half following a train collision in northwest Iowa. The Sioux City Journal reports the collision happened Friday afternoon on a road near a grocery store in downtown Le Mars. The driver of the semitrailer was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
Le Mars Fire Chief Dave Schipper says the empty 87-car Union Pacific train was traveling south when it struck the westbound semitractor-trailer. The vehicle was dragged about 100 feet before the train came to a stop.
The newspaper reports raw turkey packed in the semitrailer was pressed against the front of the train, scattering the meat across the area. The railroad pole that holds critical signal lights was also damaged.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Naz Mitrou-Long scored 17 of his 19 points in the second half and Iowa State rallied from 14 down to beat Texas Tech 63-56 Friday. Monte Morris had 14 points with six assists for the Cyclones (9-3, 1-0 Big 12), who recovered from an ugly start to beat the Red Raiders at home for the sixth time in a row.
After looking sluggish for well over a half, Iowa State ripped off 16 straight points — and a Mitrou-Long 3 gave the Cyclones their first lead, 55-52, with 4:29 left. Texas Tech (11-2, 0-1) out-rebounded the smaller Cyclones 42-27. But the Red Raiders went scoreless for 7 ½ minutes down the stretch, allowing Mitrou-Long and Iowa State to overtake them behind a crowd that went from irritated to raucous in no time.
Keenan Evans led Texas Tech with 15 points, and Anthony Livingston scored 13. Zach Smith had 14 rebounds for the Red Raiders, who were outscored by 17 points in the second half.
