Illinois State Police say only minor injuries resulted from a multi-vehicle pileup that closed I-55 near Springfield Sunday morning.
The chain reaction began with a single-vehicle rollover accident that left one person with non-life-threatening injuries. Shortly after that, according to state police, as many as seven vehicles were involved in one or more additional accidents near the scene of the first crash.
Southbound traffic had to be diverted off the interstate at the South Grand Avenue exit for several hours.
