Truck drivers in northeast Iowa suffered injuries earlier this week after two semis rolled over into bodies of water.

On Monday evening in Guttenberg, crews were dispatched to the 300 block of North Highway 52 after a semi hauling milk crashed and rolled into a nearby pond.

Crews worked to help the driver and remove the truck from the water. The truck driver was transported to Guttenberg Hospital to assess injuries and for treatment.

According to reports, the truck was hauling around 4,800 gallons of milk at the time of the crash. As a result of the crash, milk leaked from the tank into the pond.  The Linn County Regional Hazmat Team was contacted to to assist when it was determined the truck was leaking into the pond.
