UNION CO.—Authorities have provided little information about a body found in the I-57 “area” of Union County this morning, other than one has been found.
Illinois State Police Post 22 in Ullin has confirmed that very early this morning, possibly around 4 a.m. (the exact time is unclear), a body was seen by passing motorists, as it ostensibly lay alongside the interstate, at some point between the 37 and 38 mile marker of 57 in Union County.
This was in the southbound lane of the interstate, which was closed down while law enforcement attended to the discovery. There’s been no indication of whether it’s male or female, old or young, or what condition the body is in.
As more develops, we’ll bring it.
