NEW LENOX, Ill. (CBS) -- A deadly crash forced a car well off the roadway near where Interstate 80 meets Interstate 355 in southwest suburban New Lenox on Tuesday afternoon.

A 61-year-old man died as a result of the crash.

Chopper 2 spotted the car several feet off the road a little after 4 p.m.

Crews were at the scene, including a large tow truck, usually reserved for semi trucks, but CBS 2's Kris Habermehl said they likely needed its large cable to retrieve the car.

Joseph Lullo, a 61-year-old resident of Elk Grove Village, died at the scene of the crash, according to the Will County Coroner's Office.

The crash is being investigated by the Illinois State Police.
