Semi carrying fireworks rolls over, catches fire on Tri-State Tollway

The Tri-State Tollway was completely shut down Friday morning after a semi hauling fireworks rolled over and caught fire.

ST. CHARLES, Ill. - A semi trailer hauling fireworks rolled over and caught fire on the Tri-State Tollway Friday morning, shutting down northbound lanes and causing massive delays on the morning commute.

The rollover happened around 3:40 a.m. near St. Charles Road, closing traffic between the Eisenhower Expressway and North Avenue.

Illinois State Police said the two left northbound lanes have reopened to traffic.

The driver of the semi was able to escape the truck before it caught fire. He was taken to a local hospital for minor injuries, police said.

The Chicago Fire Department put out the fire when the suburban fire trucks had trouble making it up the hill.

This blog is about

This blog is non-monetized and uses photos and materials from other sources. It is in compliance with Fair Use Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Code. Music, videos and mugshots are for entertainment and disincentive purposes only. Any similarities or resemblances to people or pets, living, dead or imprisoned is just your imagination. Some stories are true, some are fictional while some of the stories are funny.

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
