    According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, a flatbed semi carrying wood traveling in the outbound lanes rolled over around 4:40 a.m. The debris ended up in the inbound lanes.
    The freeway was closed in both directions for about two hours. One southbound lane was reopened after 6:45 a.m. and another lane reopened before 9 a.m.

    That's the definition of mess right there. I heard about it on the radio but I was only going to Bolingbrook. Glad I didn't get caught up in that.

    According to the news they claim it was some type of mechanical malfunction :rolleyes: Or a blown tire. The truck was the only vehicle involved

    I realize it is probably 2x4 strewn about the road. Yet it still looks like pickup stix.
