One driver is dead after two semi trucks got into an accident on the I-90 in Machesney Park, IL
The accident took place north of Riverside boulevard. One truck driver says he was not able to stop his rig in time and rear ended the truck in front of him, which resulted in the death of the other driver involved.
Traffic on the road was congested due to an earlier accident, which was the reason the sudden stop was necessary.
The driver who died has been identified as 51-year-old Richard Johnson of St. Louis.
Officials believe icy roads may have also been a factor.
