The driver of a truck/tractor, mobile trailer, semi combination was transported to an area hospital for minor injuries after a traffic crash the morning of Thursday, December 28th in Champaign County. Preliminary details from Illinois State Police District 10 indicate the driver, a 61 year old male from Beaumont, KS, was traveling exit ramp 179A (from westbound I-74 to Southbound I-57) when the semi lost control and left the roadway to the left. It then rolled onto the driver’s side where it came to a rest. The refrigerated trailer being pulled ruptured due to the load shifting inside. The driver was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.
