RACINE, Wis. — A crash involving a half dozen vehicles including a semi-truck closed northbound lanes of I-41/94 near 7 Mile Road in Racine County Tuesday morning. Lanes reopened shortly before 4:30 p.m.
The Racine County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement the crash completely shut the freeway down. The office says a semi-tractor trailer carrying pellets slid onto its side and collided with six other vehicles.
The pallets have to be unloaded, the tractor righted and all the other vehicles removed, the sheriff's office explained. One person suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
