Robert C. Hebert, 57, of Chippewa Falls, Wis., was driving a 2007
International tractor-trailer in the center lane northbound. A
second unknown semi made a sudden lane change into the path of
Hebert's vehicle. In order to avoid the second semi, Hebert swerved
to the left and the semi overturned before entering the median.
Hebert's vehicle came to rest blocking the southbound lanes of I-55.
The load Hebert was carrying was rolls of aluminum, which came
out of the trailer.
The roadway was closed while Hebert was extricated and spilled
oil was cleaned up.
The Illinois Department of Transportation, Logan County Sheriff's
Office and Lincoln Rural Fire Department assisted with traffic
control and cleanup.
