"A South Beloit man was killed Tuesday morning after
his pickup truck collided with a semi truck on the Jane Addams Tollway,
just west of Randall Road in Elgin.
Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Thomas Gartner said
Michael Covert, 43, of South Beloit, was driving a black pickup truck
west on I-90 about 7:30 a.m. when the vehicle left the roadway and
crashed into the rear of a semi truck parked on the shoulder. Gartner
said it is unclear why the pickup left the roadway and the accident
remains under investigation.
One westbound lane was closed immediately after the
accident but all lanes have since reopened. The two vehicles have also
been removed from the scene.
No one in the semi truck was injured in the crash."
