LaSalle County Coroner Rich Ploch says two children from Peru were killed in the fatal crash on westbound Interstate 80 Tuesday night. Ploch says one is an 8-year old boy and the other is a 12-year old girl.

Last night Illinois State Police say that five other people were hurt in the crash near exit 81 near Utica. The vehicle they were in hit an abandoned straight truck on the highway shoulder.

Traffic on Interstate 80 westbound was rerouted in western LaSalle County until about 11pm last night.

We’ll have more information as it becomes available.
