Crash between 2 semi-trucks causes lane closures on I-55 to I-80
Looks like another shoulder event. 5am, half the trailer looks sheared open.
Reroute needed off 55/80.
i55 south of i80 Chicago

Shoulders are not for parking. It’s a ticketable offense, as it’s considered part of the roadway. Don’t do it, guys/gals.
FearTheCorn, silverspur, bzinger and 2 others Thank this. -
Seems some folks state "NO SHOULDER PARKING" which clearly appears to be a CHALLENGE, hence, a small yet credible increase in NON as well EMERGENCY SHOULDER PARKING.
Difficult to ascertain if NON or EMERGENCY as some drivers know NOT the difference.ducnut and drvrtech77 Thank this. -
The sad part is 10 minutes south of that interchange is the Petro in Channahon. About 20-25 minutes west is the T/A and the Pilot in Morris. The Petro especially has plenty of parking!takeheed777 and Opus Thank this.
