Staff Report

SESSER — One man died and another was injured following a four-vehicle accident on Interstate 57 near milepost 74 1/2 Tuesday afternoon.

According to the Illinois State Police, the accident occurred at 4:02 p.m. Tuesday when three vehicles were stopped in traffic in the northbound lane of I/57 and a 2007 Kenworth semi-truck, driven by Lawrence Rich, 39, of Montgomery, Minn., crashed into another semi-truck, driven by Donald G. Troyer, 62, of Nixa, Mo., causing Troyer’s truck to catch on fire.

Rich was carrying a large load of steel pipe, the ISP reports, which came crashing into the cab of his vehicle causing fatal injuries.

Stumbo was transported to Benton Hospital for non-life threatening injuries. Payne and Troyer were not injured.

The ISP continue to investigate the accident.
