A person driving an all-terrain vehicle on Interstate 55 in the Joliet area was killed in a collision early Saturday morning.
State police said they found the ATV driver after getting a report at about 4:46 a.m. that the off-road vehicle was on I-55 near U.S. Route 30.
“Subsequently, the subject on the ATV began driving the wrong-way on I-55 northbound in the southbound lanes,” a state police news release on the accident states. “... Troopers immediately made attempts to safely locate and stop the ATV.”
The ATV driver then collided with a commercial vehicle near Black Road and was killed in the collision, state police said.
