CLEAR LAKE, Iowa — The fierce winds we’ve been feeling in the Midwest are reportedly what caused a semi to nearly fly off an overpass near Clear Lake Iowa on Thursday morning.

Authorities received calls about a semi hanging off an overpass. When they arrived they found the back half of the semi dangling.

Clear Lake is about 300 miles north of Kansas City. Authorities had not released if the driver suffered any injuries.
