SLOAN, IA : Man injured in semi crash on I-29 on April, Monday 10th 2017
The driver of a truck carrying cattle was transported to the hospital after rescue crews extricated him from the cab of his vehicle following an accident on Interstate 29 Monday evening.
The accident occurred around 7:30 p.m. in the northbound lanes of Interstate 29 just south of the Sloan exit.
Trooper Chad Schweitzberger with the Iowa State Patrol said a semi carrying animal products was traveling below the minimum posted speed limit when a second semi, carrying live cattle, rear-ended it. The male driver of the semi carrying cattle was pinned inside and had to be extracted, he said. He was transported to a Sioux City hospital.
Schweitzberger said he was unsure of the condition of the cattle, but some also appeared to be severely injured.
