(Spirit Lake)– The curves on Highway 86 at the Iowa/Minnesota border have once again taken a semi driver by surprise.
It happened shortly after noon Thursday.
The Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office says 21-year-old Jacob Evans of Blue Earth, Minnesota was driving a 1996 Freightliner semi pulling a Wilson trailer loaded with hogs southbound on Highway 86 when he lost control just across the Iowa border. The rig rolled onto its side.
Evans was treated on the scene for minor injuries.
He was cited for failure to maintain control.
$35,000 in damage was estimated to the semi tractor, trailer and the load.
The Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Dickinson County Emergency Management, Iowa D.O.T Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division, the Iowa State Patrol, Lakes Regional Healthcare Ambulance; Spirit Lake First Responders and Jennings Tow and Repair.
