Sheriff’s officials in Fremont County investigated a rollover accident Thursday near the intersection of Highway 2 and Interstate 29. Authorities say a 1998 Freightliner semi owned by Lone Star Transportation out of Ft. Worth, TX., was hauling an over-sized load westbound on Highway 2, when the driver, Kenneth Brock, of Rincon, GA, attempted to pull off onto the shoulder of the road.

The trailer sank into the shoulder, causing the semi to roll onto its side and hit a highway sign before coming to rest. No injuries were reported. Assisting the sheriff’s department at the scene, were personnel with the Iowa State Patrol, Iowa Dept. of Transportation, along with the Percival and Sidney Fire and Rescue Departments.
