A Flurry of Winter Weather & String of MVA`s on EB I-44 Late January/Early February

Eastbound I-44 was a hot spot for MVA`s from the end of January into early February in the Sullivan Fire District, starting with a blue car sliding off into the inner median at the 226 mile marker on January 31st around 10 am….

…then around 9 pm on February 1st, Sullivan Fire Department was dispatched to an mva at the 227 mile marker…what they found when they arrived was a parked car sitting on the shoulder was struck by an eastbound car, the striking car continued down the grassy median between the South Service Road and eastbound lanes and came to a stop next to the guardrail just prior to the Wensel Creek Bridge and Creek….

…here is the parked car that was struck on the shoulder and the impact drove it down into the ditch and turned it to face westbound, sheared the driver`s side rear tire and wheel off….

…and the striking car….

…and a blue pickup rollover MVA happened late afternoon on February 8th at the 229 mile marker near Stanton…firefighters and EMS personnel removed the driver from the overturned truck and he was airlifted out by Arch, who landed on the Stanton Overpass….
