COOK COUNTY, IL – One person was hospitalized Friday morning, December 13, after their car collided with a parked semi-truck on Interstate 57 near Richton Park, reports ABC 7.

The accident happened on the southbound lanes north of Sauk Trail, prompting an emergency response shortly after 6:30 a.m.

While few details have been released, officials say the victim was driving a sedan southbound when, for reasons still being investigated, the car veered off the roadway and hit the stationary semi.

According to Illinois State Patrol, the driver of the sedan had to be extricated before being transported to a local hospital. The extent of their injuries remains unknown to the public.

Crews had a span of southbound I-57 blocked between US-30 and Sauk Trail during the response.

By 11:10 a.m., the scene had been cleared from the roadway.
