One person is dead and another injured following a crash Monday morning on Interstate 74 near the Goodfield exit, authorities said.
That crash was reported just before 5 a.m. Monday. One eastbound car hit a guard rail and then the overpass at the Goodfield exit, between Peoria and Normal, authorities said.
The driver of that vehicle was identified as Artiond Ivy, 30, of Peoria. He was dead at the scene from blunt force trauma to the head, authorities said. Toxicology tests are pending.
A second vehicle then collided with Ivy's car stopped in the roadway. That second driver was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, authorities said.
Eastbound I-74 was closed at the underpass as of 7:30 a.m. Traffic is still able to exit at Goodfield and is allowed to get right back on and continue eastbound. It is expected this will last until around 9:30 a.m., according to the Woodford County sheriff's department.
Police are investigating. The victim's name, age and residence has not yet been released.
