Lyon County Deputy Fernando Zuniga says a northbound semi was on its side just east of the Road U junction. Zuniga says 28-year-old Thurlmon Mosley of Missouri was hauling an empty trailer when high winds caused the truck and trailer to flip onto its side. Emporia Fire extracted Mosley from the truck cab.
