Illinois State Police said a little after 5:30 a.m, troopers were called to a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 55/70 at Exchange Avenue. According to a traffic report, a car, driven by a 28-year-old woman, was heading northbound although traffic, including a tractor-trailer, was traveling southbound.
