A couch fell from the back of a pickup truck and caused a crash on Interstate 43 over the weekend.
Another driver called 911 for help.
Caller: "There's a pickup truck with I believe it's a blue couch lying sideways across one of the lanes."
The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office said the couch flew off because it was not properly secured on I-43 in the Marquette Interchange.
The pickup truck driver stopped in the middle of the road and tried to pick it up. That's when another car slammed into the truck.
That driver was hurt but will be OK.
Deputies said this serves as a reminder for anyone hauling large things with their vehicles.
