MISSOURI VALLEY, Iowa —The Iowa State Patrol closed down Interstate 29 near Missouri Valley due to a hazmat spill around 9 p.m. Thursday.
Troopers said the driver of the truck fell asleep at the wheel and hit the guard rails and support pillars.
The truck was full of 5,000 gallons of diesel additive.
The semi rolled onto the driver's side and medics took the driver to the hospital. Officials have not released the condition of the driver.
The area was closed for about two hours and now at least one lane of the highway is open Friday morning in both directions.
