One person is dead after a two-vehicle crash along Interstate 55 west of Bloomington on Tuesday afternoon, according to a news release from Illinois State Police.
The crash involved a parked service vehicle which was hit by another vehicle that went off-road for unknown reasons, causing both vehicles to catch on fire.
The driver of the car that went off-road, 27-year-old Jacob Shaw of Kenosha, Wisc., was pronounced dead at the scene, according to McLean County Coroner Kathy Yoder.
The driver of the service vehicle was taken to a nearby hospital for injury treatment, according to ISP.
The crash shut down I-55's southbound lanes for a few hours, though they reopened around 5:47 Tuesday evening.
An investigation of the crash remains ongoing by ISP and the McLean County coroner's office.
