There has been another accident on Interstate 57 in Franklin County tonight.  From preliminary reports it is a single car rollover.

This is at the 77 mile marker at the bottom of the Whittington-Sesser off ramp.

According to the website Southern Illinois Fire Incidents, Sesser and Ewing-Northern Fire Protection Districts are on the scene.  At least two people were airlifted from the scene.

I would avoid the interstate in both directions.  I know there is a backup in the southbound lane.

If someone would tag me or send me a message on Facebook, it would be very helpful in relaying the information.
