Monee, IL – Drivers in the Monee area faced delays Tuesday morning after a semi-truck and a passenger car collided near a car wash along a local roadway, leaving one vehicle heavily damaged and causing a fluid spill across the pavement.
According to the Monee Fire Protection District, the crash resulted in minor injuries, and emergency crews responded shortly after the incident was reported. Photos shared by the department show a red semi-truck with front-end damage and a black coupe pinned beneath its bumper, with fluids pooling across the roadway as firefighters worked to secure the scene.
Fire officials said crews arrived to evaluate occupants for injuries, control the fluid leak, and clear debris from the roadway. While the specific cause of the crash was not immediately released, responders noted that no major injuries occurred, and all involved individuals were assessed on scene.
The collision happened near a busy stretch of roadway close to a car wash, an area that typically sees steady traffic during the morning hours. Drivers in the south suburban region, including parts of Will County and the broader Chicago Southland, experienced lane blockages as tow trucks removed the damaged vehicles.
Police and fire personnel urged motorists to use caution when traveling through the area, as temporary slowdowns were expected while crews completed cleanup operations.
Authorities have not yet released additional information about the drivers involved. The incident remains under review.
