Illinois State Police say that at least two dozen vehicles were directly involved in a series of crashes on Interstate 39 on Thursday, with clean-up expected well into Friday.
The crash, which occurred at milepost 9 near El Paso during the height of a storm that dumped six or more inches of snow across the area, involved at least 19 semi trucks and nine passenger vehicles, according to police.
Numerous other vehicles slid off the road to avoid crashes, but were not damaged, according to authorities.Miraculously, no injuries were reported among the motorists that were involved in the crashes. Illinois State Police urged motorists to stay off roads Thursday after as much as 4 inches of wind-blown snow led to whiteout conditions and multiple pileups, including one in Woodford County that police say may have involved more than 100 vehicles.
All individuals who were involved in the crash were taken to area warming centers within three hours of the incidents.
