A strong cross wind was a factor in an accident on I-70 this evening. Illinois State Police say 62-year-old Brett Kear, of Indianapolis was pulling two semi-trailers at mile post 87.5. While swaying, the rear trailer left the roadway and entered the south ditch. The rear trailer then overturned, pulling the first trailer and the tractor into the ditch and down a steep embankment. The tractor proceeded to roll over onto its roof, along with the first trailer, while the second trailer came to a rest on its side. Kear was able to exit the vehicle with minor injuries.
