Driver killed in crash on Chicago expressway; all lanes reopened
CHICAGO (CBS) – One driver was killed after a crash involving a semi-truck on the Stevenson Expressway Monday morning.
Illinois State Police said around 2:06 a.m., troopers responded to a two-vehicle crash involving a truck-tractor semi-trailer and a Honda HR-V on southbound I-55 south of Central Avenue.
Initial reports say the Honda rear-ended the semi and that speed was a contributing factor in the crash. All outbound lanes were closed as a result.
The driver of the Honda, a 31-year-old man from Summit, Illinois, was pronounced dead on the scene.
All lanes have since reopened around 8:30 a.m.
