Illinois State Police closed the road to traffic in both directions early Friday morning, May 30. Westbound traffic was diverted at Henning Road, while eastbound traffic had to get on Interstate 74.
ISP confirmed that a wrong-way driver was traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes around 1:30 a.m. when their Chevrolet Equinox crashed into another vehicle head-on. The second driver was killed at the scene, and the wrong-way driver was airlifted to a local hospital. However, ISP is still investigating the deadly crash and has not released further details related to the incident.
We extend our deepest condolences to the deceased victim’s loved ones. Our thoughts are also with the injured victims in hopes of their full recovery.
