Traffic on I-70 was slowed for nearly two hours after a tractor trailer and rental truck collision.
The accident occurred on the eastbound lanes of I-70 as a rental truck pulled a trailer with a Jeep on it. The rental truck entered the highway and was struck by a tanker.
The impact caused the rental truck to go into the median. The Jeep that was riding on the trailer was knocked off and rolled multiple times before coming to a stop. The trailer remained stuck underneath the semi-truck and the rental truck was pushed into the emergency lane. The driver of the semi-trailer complained of minor injuries and was transported to the hospital.

A nursing home in Illinois is being investigated by officials after claims of negligent care when a resident was injured while a nurse was moving her.
As a rule at the nursing home, which is made clear by signs posted throughout the facility, two nurses must be available to move a resident. Therefore, no one is injured during the move. In this incident, a nurse moved the resident by herself and the resident was hurt.
The laceration caused needed 24 stitches. The Illinois Department of Public Health is currently investigating this accident. Earlier this year, the department fined the nursing home almost $100,000 for breaking health violations.
