NEAR OAK BROOK, IL – Fire crews were summoned to the scene of a fiery truck crash that happened on Interstate 294 South near Oak Brook on Thursday.
Video footage from a member of the public, Sofi Gonzalez, and re-shared by ABC7Chicago showed a fully engulfed truck cab and black smoke permeating the air.
