Overturned Semi on the Interstate

Effingham firefighters were out at 4:30 Tuesday morning due to an overturned semi along the interstate.

Effingham Fire Chief Bob Tutko said the scene was Southbound I-57, just south of the 57/70 split on the north end of Effingham.

Tutko said the truck was hauling Christmas packages. The drivers were uninjured, but firefighters had to utilize a ladder to remove the drivers from the cab of the rig. 

The Chief encourages everyone to slow down considering the wet and snowy conditions.
