What if it Snows?

Ah, but just to get to "slosh the gas" on a sputtering fire is just a ###### good feeling. Relish it, as they do not come often...

 

Meanwhile back @ r0ckpILe Ranch & a beer

Here is a nws blurb on it......

Jun 21, 2023 Updated 51 min ago

TUSCOLA, Ill. (WAND) - Illinois State Police troopers are working a crash after a semi caught fire on Interstate 57 near Tuscola.

The vehicle caught fire and is blocking both northbound lanes of I-57, one mile south of Tuscola.

Northbound traffic is being diverted at the Arcola exit.

Southbound is down to one lane with slow moving traffic.

ISP said this could be an extended closure due to a difficult vehicle recovery.

Drivers are told to avoid this area if possible.

UPDATE 5:18 p.m.

Preliminary information from ISP Troop 7 shows that the crash involved a truck tractor semi-trailer and a silver Toyota. The Toyota struck a deer and became disabled in the roadway of the interstate to the left. The semi-trailer struck a guardrail and became fully engulfed in flames.

No information has yet been provided regarding the conditions of the drivers.

Extended lane closures are expected to last several hours for cleanup and recovery.
