I-80 Westbound Reopens after Morning Crash Shuts Down Road

One person extricated from car, no word on condition.

All lanes of westbound I-80 near LaGrange Road have now reopened after an earlier serious accident.

The accident happened just after 6 a.m. Monday and involved two cars and a semi truck, WGN reports. One driver was extracted and transported via medical helicopter. No word on that person’s condition.

With traffic previously at a standstill for miles, drivers looking to dodge the massive delays were seen driving backwards on the Harlem Avenue on-ramp. It appears no one was injured during that stunt.
