The Illinois State Police are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying some of those that were killed in Monday’s massive 70 car pileup on I-55. One of the victims has been identified as 88-year-old Shirley Harper of Franklin, Wisconsin. ISP Director Brendan Kelly says that they need help identifying two adults who were killed in the crash.
One vehicle was a Blue Chrysler 300 and one vehicle was a Hyundai. If you know of anyone that may have been involved in the crash or know who any of the victims are you are encouraged to contact 618-346-3653.
Kelly says this has been a painful process and he is asking for patience with the investigation. He also doesn’t think at this time that there is anything criminal about it.
