| [NBC] Illinois State Police say a wrong-way driver on Interstate 90 caused a fiery collision that killed a total of seven people, including five children, early Sunday in McHenry County. At approximately 2:11 a.m., a blue Chevrolet full size van was traveling westbound on Interstate 90, near the 33.5 mile marker, when an Acura TSX, heading eastbound in the westbound lanes, struck the van, according to police. Upon colliding, both vehicles became engulfed in flames. |

| #5 Thank you, Mr. Visitor. Looks like a great place to take the grandchildren. I've never been there, but will put it on my list of places to go. |

| #4 On a happier note, I suspect this link and farm may bring some memories Richard. |

| #3 Tragic That stretch of road is just south of Marengo, Illinois. I've driven it more times than I can remember. Straight and flat. Only one or two places to make a mistake getting on the wrong way for westbound lanes, and they are 8-10 miles west of where the crash occurred (33.5 mile post). At that time of the morning I'd guess alcohol. |

| #2 Driving east on I-80 in north central PeeAve some years ago, I saw oncoming headlights through a pretty heavy snowfall. As the westbound lanes were separated from the east by a couple hundred yards of median there, I got really nervous slowed down and prepared for a bad situation. It was an odd sense of relief I felt when I saw the headlights that should not be there belonged to a car that had just flipped and come to rest upside down on the berm. |

| #1 Illuminated Interstate section with three lanes East, three lanes West. Almost have to be aiming for another vehicle. 2:11 a.m. I'm calling suicide, drugs, alcohol, or a combination. Beyond sad. |
