Sources tell KTVO that the driver claims the load shifted while driving, causing the semi to tip over.

No one was seriously injured in the accident.

Responding to the scene were officers from the Ottumwa Police Department, Fire Department and the Iowa State Patrol.

The cause is still under investigation.
