Thank you Jeff Eldridge for submitting the picture to me.

JOHNSTON CITY, IL-  There were several on social media yesterday afternoon that were commenting on the traffic snarl on I-57.

Illinois State Police reports that a Ford Mustang, driven by 22 year-old Chance Pearson of Marion, was traveling southbound in a Mustang at the 61 mile marker between West Frankfort and Johnston City, lost control and hit a jeep driven by 19 year old Conner Cutright, who was transported to Heartland Regional Center in Marion for minor injuries.

Charges are pending against Pearson.

If anyone is out in the future and there is traffic slowing or you are stuck in it on any of the interstates in Southern Illinois, please let me know, so I can get the word out.  Thank you very much.
