I think this is the
very definition of bad day.
A tow truck tipped trying to clear a semi from Highway 18, forcing part of that highway to be shut down for hours.
It happened near Mason City on Wednesday.
The Iowa State Patrol says a semi hauling candy caught fire. Firefighters put it out, but then a tow truck, called in to clear the scene, tipped.
Authorities say another, larger tow truck was then needed to help.
