Man dies after accident on farm near Jesup
Authorities say a truck driver has died of injuries suffered when he was pinned between his truck and a skid loader at a farm in northeast Iowa.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier says the driver had delivered drainage tiles to the farm near Jesup on Monday morning.
The Buchanan County Sheriff's Office says the driver was trying to free his big rig from the snow when he got pinned between the semitrailer and what was described as a skid loader or forklift.
He was found unconscious about 9 a.m. and later taken to Buchanan County Health Center in Independence.
His name isn't being released until relatives are notified.
