The Iowa State Patrol is investigating a five-car pileup on eastbound Interstate-80 near Walcott.

The semi driver was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries and no one else was hurt. A second semi and two passenger vehicles were also involved in the crash.

The Iowa State Patrol says their early investigation shows a tractor-trailer struck the back of a fuel truck, then went off the side of the road and caught fire.
