All lanes of I-57 near Monee are open again following a Thursday morning crash between two dump trucks that left debris scattered across the roadway.

The crash happened just before 8 a.m. in the southbound lanes near Wilmington-Peotone Road, where a truck hauling scrap metal had parked on the right shoulder and partially in the right lane, Illinois State Police said.

Another truck hauling garbage was traveling in the right lane and hit the scrap metal truck, causing both vehicles to roll onto their sides, police said.
