UNION CO.—There’s still been no identification of a body that was seen lying along the southbound lane of Interstate 57 in Union County yesterday (04.12.13).
Illinois State Police, investigating the situation, have advised that they’re asking the public for any and every possible thing they could know about the deceased person, who is reported to have stepped out in front of traffic at 3:08 a.m. yesterday, ending his life at about the 38 mile marker in the northeastern corner of Union Co.
UPDATE: Televised reports have one trooper having identified the body as that of a man, something press information seemed purposely vague about.
Nevertheless, they’re asking folks with possible information to call District 22 in Ullin at 618-845-3750, extension 292.
We’ll keep you as up to date as we can on the situation.
