One person is dead after a weather-related crash near Morton Wednesday morning.
The Illinois State Police said the driver of a Chevy van headed west on I-74 lost control due to icy conditions and veered into eastbound traffic. The van collided head-on with a truck-tractor semi trailer.
The driver of the van was pronounced dead at the scene. Two passengers and the truck-tractor's driver were all taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Tazewell County Coroner Charles Hanley is withholding the name of the deceased driver pending family notification.
