Semi-Truck Slow on I-24 Bridge Causes Road Block, Massac County IL


A semi-truck lost air pressure while crossing the I-24 westbound bridge in Illinois. The truck is moving very slowly at about two miles per hour and may not make it across. This is causing a potential blockage on the bridge. Police are monitoring the situation and have requested a tow truck to remove the semi if needed.
