Truck, Corn Syrup Tanker Collide

A pickup and a semi collided on Highway-61 just south of Wever late last(Wed) night.

Wever Fire Chief J.D. Henshaw is quoted on the Eastern Iowa Fireground Photos website as saying the smaller truck pulled out onto the 4-lane and hit the tanker, which was loaded with corn syrup.

There was a fire, but it was put out by a Wever crew, with Denmark firefighters on the way for mutual aid.
