The wrecked DOT vehicle after being hit by a semi.
An Iowa DOT motor vehicle enforcement officer is lucky to be alive after a crash in southwest Iowa on Wednesday afternoon.
According to the Iowa State Patrol, 56-year-old Theresa Ann Fox, of Ankeny, was driving a 2015 Chevy Tahoe southbound in the right-hand lane of Interstate 29 next the Exit 1 overpass.
The vehicle was moving slowly and providing traffic control for a DOT Highway repair crew conducting pavement patching. The Tahoe had its rear emergency lights activated and arrow stick directing traffics to merge left, when at around 2:45 p.m., the SUV was struck by a southbound Volvo semi.
