The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported after a United Parcel Service (UPS) semi overturned early this (Tuesday) morning, on southbound Interstate 29, about 2-miles north of the Missouri border. The semi, pulling double trailers, blocked a portion of the southbound lanes when it flipped over at around 4:35-a.m. The driver, 47-year old David Koons, of Smithville, MO., told authorities when he swerved to avoid several deer in the road, he lost control of the rig, causing it to overturn. Strong winds were also considered to be a factor in the crash.
