The wreck occurred shortly before 3 p.m. Thursday on Interstate 35 in Freeman Township, the State Patrol said.
The northbound semi hit a guard rail and caught fire about 3 miles north of the Iowa border, according to the patrol, which has yet to explain why the rig went awry.
The patrol said it intended to release later Friday the identity of the trucker, a 64-year-old man from Spirit Lake, Iowa.
