Semi rollover snarls interstate traffic

By Mike McWilliams
Iowa City Press-Citizen
An overturned semi trailer has snarled traffic on eastbound Interstate 80 near the Interstate 380, Highway 218 interchange

Few details on the incident are available at this time.

According to Iowa State Patrol Sgt. Randy Stone, a tractor-trailer overturned and lost its load. Stone said one lane of traffic is blocked off and it could be a while before the road is cleaned up.

Stone said he wasn’t sure what the semi trailer was carrying, but 41,000 lbs of it are on I-80.
