Earlier this month near Springfield, a six-vehicle accident sent several people to the hospital with varying injuries and backed up traffic for hours. According to one local news source<\/a>, the accident occurred at around one in the afternoon on Interstate 55, between Sixth Street and Toronto Road.<\/p>\n

Evidently, a semi-truck was heading southbound on I-55 when he collided with the rear of a van that had slowed down on the highway.

The collision between the truck and the van caused a chain-reaction accident that ultimately involved a total of six vehicles. Police told reporters that there were several other smaller accidents involving just a few cars that were caused as a result of the slowing traffic on the highway.<\/p>\n
