SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KTIV) -

A semi tire blasts through the side of a Sioux City barn.

The barn's owners, Randy and Linda Olsen, say it happened Thursday morning.

They say a truck was headed south on the Highway 75 bypass when it lost a tire. The rubber runaway bounced down a hill, broke through a fence, and smashed through the side of the barn.   

Police found it inside. The wheel toppled some tools and knocked over a bicycle.

The Olsens say no one was injured.

Trucking officials say an average semi tire weighs around 150 pounds.
