Illinois State Police said the incident occurred at mile-marker 25 and motorists who can avoid that area in the upcoming few hours should do so to eliminate a bottleneck.
“Motorists should avoid that area if possible,” the State Police said.
“One semi rear-ended another and caused it to somehow go into another,” the State Police said. “One semi caught fire and the second unit also caught fire.”
