A semi going the wrong way on Interstate 80 caused a crash Thursday that injured one man.

The State Patrol says 60-year-old Leif McGowan of West Branch wound up on the wrong side of the interstate around noon. His semi struck an on-coming semi, and that sent debris flying that hit another vehicle.

McGowan was injured and went to University of Iowa Hospitals for treatment. The patrol has not released any information about how his truck got to the other side of I-80.
