Iowa State Patrol calls out ‘house move gone wrong’

The Iowa State Patrol Commercial Motor Vehicle Unit says that proper equipment is key if you want to avoid a situation like this recent “house move gone wrong.”

On May 31, 2024, the Iowa State Patrol took to social media to share an example of how badly a house move can go if you don’t have the right tools and truck for the job.

“Here we have another house move gone wrong. This one, as seen in the photos, was attempted to be moved with a tractor. The moral of the story here is to ensure you have proper, and well maintained, equipment for the task at hand…especially when moving an entire house. Unfortunately, this rural road remains blocked until the house can be safely removed,” Iowa State Patrol said.
