A semi-truck crashed early Thursday on I-290 in Cook County, jack-knifing and breaking through temporary barriers, leaving the vehicle suspended between a decommissioned bridge and a new structure near St. Charles Road. The incident, reported around 2:42 a.m., blocked eastbound lanes between St. Charles Road and I-294, prompting traffic diversions and significant delays. No injuries were reported. Authorities, including Illinois State Police and IDOT, secured the scene, and the truck was fully removed by 9 a.m. The area remained under investigation.
