MATTESON, IL —A crash involving more than 18 vehicles on Tuesday night snarled traffic on I-57 Tuesday night when the region was dealing with the season’s first snowfall, the Illinois State Police said in a news release.

The crash took place on Vollmer Road on the expressway overpass, according to the state police, which said it was assisting Matteson Police in dealing with the crash, which remains under investigation.

It is not immediately known what injuries were created by the crash and police did not provide comment on what caused the crash. However, the accident was one of several reported around the greater Chicago area due to wintery conditions that extended into Wednesday.

Police reported icy conditions which they said caused several crashes and vehicles around the region after Tuesday’s snow and cold temperatures were reported throughout the region.
