BURR RIDGE – A semi-truck rollover on the Stevenson Expressway caused some traffic backups during rush hour on Tuesday morning.
The crash occurred shortly after 6 a.m. Tuesday on I-55’s inbound lanes near County Line Road in Burr Ridge.
While it is unclear what caused the collision, the semi-truck appeared to be the only vehicle involved.
Skycam 9 was over the scene around 7:20 a.m., when the badly damaged truck was seen lying on its side, blocking several lanes of traffic.
From above, it appeared that the truck had leaked some type of liquid, but officials have not issued any warnings about potential environmental risks.
The crash appeared to be causing significant delays for drivers on the inbound side, with crews closing all inbound lanes of O-55 just before the County Line Road exit.
It is unclear how long the closures and crash cleanup will last.
