A pair of early-morning accidents reduced northbound Interstate 57 traffic to one lane near Bourbonnais.
Two truck drivers suffered minor injuries and were taken to Provena St. Mary's Hospital, Sgt. Angela Kinstner, of the Illinois State Police, said.
The first accident occurred around 6 a.m. when a semi truck jackknifed on the northbound lane near the 315 mile marker.
A second crash occurred at 6:30 a.m. when one semi rear-ended another in the northbound lane, scattering debris across the roadway, according to police reports.
With police and emergency workers at the scene for several hours, the crashes created a three-mile-long backup.
Road conditions were not initially believed to have caused the accident but further details were not available at press time this morning.
