Southbound traffic on I-57 flowing smoothly after overnight Semi wreck

by Steve Dunford

I just confirmed with local officials, that traffic is not tied up on southbound Interstate 57 this morning.

According to the Illinois State Police, a semi driven by Chris Foy, 54 of Little Rock AR, swerved to miss an object in the interstate.  The semi overturned and he was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.

This happened around 2:00 a.m., at the 63 mile marker between West Frankfort and Johnston City.

From social media reports, traffic was still moving at a slow pace around 6:00 a.m.
