A pickup driver has been sent to the hospital with severe injuries after a multi-vehicle crash south of Le Mars, Iowa.
A press release from the Plymouth County Sheriff's Office says the crash occurred at about 9 a.m. Thursday in the 3100 block of C-38.
When deputies and paramedics arrived at the scene, they determined two pickups and a semi were involved in the crash.
Authorities say a semi hauling grain had pulled out onto C-38 when a GMC pickup owned by Plymouth Dairy Farms Inc. rear-ended the semi's trailer.
That pickup driver was trapped in his vehicle, which then caught on fire. Le Mars Fire/Rescue were able to extinguish the fire and extricate the driver within 15 minutes of the of call. He was sent to a Sioux City hospital with life-threatening injuries.
During the crash, a Ram pickup traveling on C-38 rear-ended the GMC truck.
