Numerous crashes have occurred at the two-way stop intersection of Kankakee County 12000 North Road, or County Line Road, and Illinois Route 50. County Line Road also intersects with Illinois Route 1 north of Grant Park.

Illinois State Police Troop 5 said one person was transported to a local hospital with injuries following a two-vehicle crash on Illinois Route 50 at the Kankakee/Will County line Monday.
