At least one person is dead following a fiery construction zone crash Thursday morning involving a semitruck and a dump truck near Momence.
Illinois Route 1/17 was closed until about 3:15 p.m. Thursday.
The dump truck, heading west, was stopped by a construction crew flagman at 9500 E. Road Illinois Route 1/17. The passenger vehicle was next in line. The semi was next to arrive, but was unable to stop, and the passenger vehicle was crushed between the two larger haulers.
The passenger vehicle and semi burst into flames. A fourth vehicle went off the road and into a ditch to avoid hitting the semi.
The name of the victim has not been released as of 3:45 p.m.
"We can't get at the body at this time. We aren't even sure how many were in there," Kankakee County Coroner Bob Gessner said Thursday morning.
The accident took place about 8:15 a.
