One person was killed when two semis collided in western Iowa early this morning.
The accident happened on westbound Interstate 80 in Cass County at around 1:10 a.m.
The Iowa State Patrol reports 35-year-old Jagdeep Singh, of Floral Park, New York died, when the semi he was driving struck the rear of another semi and entered the median before bursting into flames.
Singh died at the scene.
The driver of the other semi, from Dover, Florida, suffered minor injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.

A new rule from the Trump administration prohibits certain classes of immigrants from obtaining truck driver’s licenses. The Transportation Department said the change is intended to make roads safer, but there’s no data to suggest that immigrants cause more truck accidents.

Snow squalls are short, intense bursts of snow & wind that can reduce visibility & cause dangerous travel.
Avoid/delay travel until the squall passes. If caught in one, slow down, turn on your headlights & hazards, & try to exit the road.
