Two people were hospitalized Thursday evening after a crash on Interstate 80 at the Interstate 55 interchange in Joliet.
Illinois State Police reported in a news release that officers from Troop 3 were called to the ramp from eastbound I-80 to southbound I-55 at milepost 126 just after 6:30 p.m. Thursday after a Toyota Camry crashed and flipped.
The car was traveling east on I-80 and started to take the southbound ramp to I-55 before changing course and attempting to reenter I-80, according to the release.
As the vehicle tried to reenter I-80 traffic, the driver reportedly lost control, and the car struck a crash cushion and was overturned.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash.
The driver and the vehicle’s passenger were both taken to a local hospital with injuries, according to the release. Their current condition is unknown.
Police temporarily closed the outside lane of I-80 while an investigation was conducted, and it reopened at 8:29 p.m.
