A dust storm caused a series of collisions on a major highway in Illinois on Monday, killing at least six people and injuring dozens more. The accident involved nearly 100 vehicles, including 30 commercial trucks, along a two-mile stretch of Interstate 55.
Illinois State Police reported that excessive winds carrying dirt from nearby farm fields reduced visibility along the highway, leading to the collisions. Two semi-trucks caught fire in the aftermath, which added to the chaos of the already devastating accident.
