STANTON, Neb. -- High winds are to blame for a crash that shut down a northeast Nebraska highway early Wednesday.
It happened before sunrise along Highway 275 between Norfolk and Pilger.
The Stanton County Sheriff's Office said a westbound semi had its trailer blown across the road, where it was struck head on by an eastbound semi.
The trailer was split apart and overturned, blocking the highway.
A UPS semi then jackknifed behind the wreckage.
Remarkably, no one was injured. The Sheriff's Office had the highway reopened after a little more than two hours, but was advising against travel because of the conditions.
