A Joliet man died Friday afternoon after his car collided with a tractor-trailer on South Chicago Street (Route 53), Joliet police said.

The man has been identified by the Will County Coroner’s Office as 28-year-old Adam J. Weathers.

Officers responded about 1 p.m. Friday to the intersection of South Chicago Street and Schweitzer Road for a report of a crash with injuries, police said.

A preliminary investigation found that a 54-year-old man from Cumming, Georgia, was driving a Kenworth tractor-trailer out of a private business in the 3400 block of South Chicago Street when he tried to turn north, police said.

Weathers was traveling south in a Chevrolet Sonic when the truck collided with the vehicle, police said.

The impact ejected Weathers from the Chevrolet Sonic. He was taken by the Joliet Fire Department to Saint Joseph Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 2:52 p.m., according to the coroner’s office.

The truck driver was not injured.

The road was closed for several hours as police investigated and reconstructed the scene. The Will County Coroner’s Office will determine the official manner of death.

The crash remains under investigation. Anyone with video footage or information is asked to call the Joliet Police Department Traffic Division at 815-724-3010.
