Saline CO. — What has been reported to us as a “serious accident” this morning has resulted in the closure of a main road in Saline County.
A wreck this morning on Illinois Route 13 near the Hankins Road intersection has caused authorities to close the Illinois 13 Eastbound lanes from Hankins Road to the Harco Blacktop. It is unknown how long the closure might continue, but authorities will be rerouting traffic on the Eastbound lanes until the time that the closure is lifted. Motorists should try to find alternative routes as of this morning.
We are currently working to get the details of the accident, but as of 9:30am have only been able to find out that the Illinois State Police are handling the situation. Keep checking back, as we will have more details as they become available.
