Overview
- Illinois State Police said the crash around 7:48 a.m. Thursday involved five vehicles on eastbound I-80 at the I-55 interchange in Joliet.
- All eastbound lanes remain closed at milepost 126.2 as troopers investigate, and the shutdown is creating long delays in both directions.
- State police reported diesel on the roadway, and CBS video showed a jackknifed semi against a barrier.
- Officials have not said what caused the crash, whether anyone was hurt, or when the lanes will reopen.
- Reporting differs on the number of semi-trucks involved, with ISP noting at least one and TrafficNet saying three.
