Trucks Collide on Interstate

(Lake County) – The collision of two semis caused delays on I80/94 Thursday morning.

 

Around 9:10 a.m. State Police responded to the accident scene in the westbound lanes a few miles from the state line. They found a white Kenworth tanker truck on its side along the median barrier wall. Police said it had been sideswiped by a 2014 Freightliner driven by Abdi Warsame (54) of Columbus, Ohio. The Kenworth’s cab landed on its left side, but the driver, Dustin Beemer (30) of Channahon, Illinois, was able to climb out. Neither driver was hurt.

 

Remediation crews worked for several hours to clean up some coal tar that leaked from the tanker and to remove the truck wreckage.
