Grundy County, Illinois – A jackknifed semi-truck is blocking Lisbon Road, shutting down traffic between Nelson Road and Airport Road.
According to the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office, the crash left the semi positioned across the roadway, preventing vehicles from passing in either direction. Deputies are currently on scene directing traffic and advising motorists to avoid the area.
Authorities said a rotator tow truck has been summoned to remove the disabled tractor-trailer. It is unclear how long the roadway will remain closed.
Drivers traveling through the rural corridor are being asked to seek alternate routes while crews work to clear the scene. No information about injuries has been released.
The closure affects a key connector route in the county, particularly impacting local commuters, farm traffic and commercial vehicles traveling between Nelson and Airport roads.
Officials have not indicated what caused the semi to jackknife. Updates are expected once the vehicle is removed and the roadway is cleared.
Motorists are urged to use caution in the area and follow directions from law enforcement personnel on site.
