Semi flips, blocks all of I-290 near Elmhurst in one direction

The driver of a semitrailer truck was injured after the vehicle flipped on its side Saturday afternoon on Interstate 290 near Elmhurst.

Shortly after 4 p.m., the driver lost control of the truck on eastbound I-290 near Grand Avenue, causing it to flip on its side, according to the Addison Fire Department. The driver was taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries, but no one else was hurt, officials said.

All lanes of traffic were shut down for almost two hours as vehicles were diverted off I-290 onto Route 83.

At least two lanes reopened by 6 p.m., but traffic was backed up about 4 miles.

All lanes were reopened by 10 p.m. after crews moved the truck from the road and cleaned up a minor fuel leak caused by the crash, officials said.
