When firefighters arrived that discovered a jackknifed semi under the 226 overpass, just east, three semi’s entangled with each other, a RV off the right side of the roadway, a fourth semi jackknifed in the median after striking a vehicle and then two additional semi’s that had struck each other with one overturning, all just a half mile east of Sullivan.
One tractor trailer driver had to be rescued by Sullivan Firefighters but there were no other injuries reported at this time.
Eastbound I-44 remained closed at the 224 mile marker at 7:30 a.m.
