An overturned semi-trailer on Interstate 255 near Pontoon Beach resulted in a medical airlift and closed lanes Wednesday afternoon.
According to the Illinois State Police, the incident occurred around 1:36 p.m. on I-255 southbound just north of mile marker 30 in Madison County. All lanes were closed so a medical helicopter could land, the police said. It’s unknown if another vehicle was involved.
