JEFFERSON COUNTY – A crash involving two semis happened around 11:30 Friday morning on eastbound I-64, just east of U.S. 51, in Jefferson County.
According to Illinois State Police, both semis were going east through a one-lane construction zone – one hauling metal utility poles and the other towing a car hauler trailer.
Traffic had slowed or stopped in front of the car hauler. The semi carrying utility poles failed to slow down, rear-ended the car hauler, and then hit the concrete median. The impact pushed the barrier into the westbound lanes.
Injuries were reported but no one was taken from the scene.
No further information is available at this time.
