Beer truck overturns on Tri-State ramp
June 16, 2009 6:52 AM | 54 Comments
A semitrailer hauling 40,000 pounds of beer tipped over on a west suburban highway interchange this morning and was leaking its payload on the road, Illinois State Police said.
The incident occurred before 6:30 a.m. on the ramp from the southbound Tri-State Tollway (I-294) to the eastbound Eisenhower Expressway (I-290), said Master Sgt. Robert Fierstein.
Troopers and investigators were still on the scene trying to determine what caused the single-vehicle crash, which resulted in a "breach" in the cargo area.
Other than "rubberneckers" slowing to see the overturned truck, there was minimal impact to traffic as crews tried to clean the spillage from the roadway. The driver suffered minor cuts and bruises to his face and was cooperating with police.
The vehicle was believed to be carrying Miller beer products, Fierstein said.
