South Central Illinois | 24 month complete rebuild of 5 miles of I-70 including raising 2 overpasses to 16’ clearance. Part of a nationwide effort to create 16’ clearance for all overpasses. Not really sure how many lives are lost each time they do one of these? Numerous accidents this year, probably going to be just as many next year. I-70 was shut down due to an accident, US 40 was carrying all of the traffic, Somehow this accident happened.
A father and his 2 sons, Lived beside where this accident occurred, They were overcome by the fumes, While trying to get into the car to evacuate. Prayers for their family. These 3 are no longer with us. Along with 2 other individuals, who are not from this area. None of the fatalities were from injuries sustained in the accident, All are from the NH3 release.
