Turkey truck overturns in Council Bluffs
July 15th, 2014 by Ric Hanson
No serious injuries were reported after a tractor-trailer loaded with live turkeys toppled over Sunday in Council Bluffs. According to the police report, a semi driven by 30-year old Bryan Todd, of Ghent, MN, was traveling north on Interstate 29 at around noon, Sunday, when a vehicle tried to merge into his lane. Ghent swerved to avoid a collision but ended up losing control of the semi, which overturned near the 35th Street exit in Council Bluffs.
The wreck caused traffic to be restricted to one-lane for about three-hours. It’s not clear how many of the turkeys were injured or if any were killed.
