Lake County, IL : Trucker dies in I-65 crash in Lake County on Thursday, 23rd August 2018

A trucker died Thursday after rear-ending another semi on I-65 in Lake County, in an accident which ultimately involved four vehicles, the Indiana State Police said.
The victim was identified as Thomas Shanahan, 38, of Crest Hill, Ill., police said.
According to police, at 9:30 p.m. Shanahan, pulling a box trailer, was southbound on I-65 when, just south of the U.S. Highway 30 exit, he rear-ended a second semi, driven by Carlos Salgado, 30, of Chicago.
On impact, Shanahan’s rig swerved off the roadway and into a ditch, causing the trailer to separate from the tractor, which overturned, police said. Shanahan, trapped in the tractor, had to be extricated by the Merrillville Fire Department and was subsequently transported to Methodist Hospital Southlake Campus in Merrillville, where he died of his injuries, police said.
