One person was killed in a crash on Interstate 80 involving a semi that reduced westbound traffic down to one lane Monday afternoon, authorities said.

The crash happened at about 3:45 p.m. near Interstate 355, close to mile marker 138, according to the New Lenox Fire Protection District. One person died in the accident, and the Will County coroner was called to the scene, according to reports.

It wasn’t immediately clear if anyone else was hurt or hospitalized. Illinois State Police were investigating, but further details were not immediately available.
