JANESVILLE
Holiday traffic backed up on the Interstate and was diverted onto surface roads on Janesvilleâs northeast side after three semitrailer trucks crashed on I-90/39 on Monday morning.
A Wisconsin State Patrol official said the crash happened around 9:30 a.m. Monday near Milton- Harmony Townline Road north of Janesville. Three semis apparently crashed in the northbound lanes. The official said at least one of the semis crashed through a concrete median in the middle of the Interstate, resulting in a complicated crash scene requiring an extensive cleanup effort.
The state patrol in a news release said the crash caused one semi to erupt in flames. One person had âminor injuriesâ in the crash. The vehicles involved apparently took out âseveral hundredâ feet of barriers in the middle of the Interstate.
