Illinois 114, east of Momence, was closed for several hours on September 29, 2011 due to a head-on accident involving two semi tractor-trailer. The accident occurred around 4:30 in the afternoon.
The accident occurred when Leon Knox, of Chicago Heights, was driving eastbound and swerved into the westbound lane to avoid stopped vehicles. The westbound truck was driven by Norberto Rodriquez, of Crest Hill. The impact caused both trucks to land on the north side of the road in a field that was just west of County Road 15750E.
Members of the Momence Fire Department worked to extricate Knox, who was trapped for two hours, from the accident scene. Rodriquez also needed to be removed from his truck. Personnel from Grant Park and Bourbonnais fire departments were also at the scene to help create a landing zone for a helicopter that airlifted Knox to Advocate Christ Medical Center.

One Chicago man was killed as a result of a semi-trailer accident that occurred on Interstate 65 in central Indiana.
According to Indiana State Police, the accident occurred when the semi-trailer collided with the rear of another vehicle that was stopped in traffic. The collision caused a fire because the truck that was hit was carrying petroleum products and paint and it caused both vehicles to be engulfed in flames.
The 23-year-old driver of the truck that rear-ended the other car, was killed as a result of the crash. The lanes of traffic were then closed so that crews could clean up the spill and clear the scene. The other driver was not injured in the crash.
Our thoughts and condolences are with the friends and family of the victim.
