Lanes reopen on Tri-State after fatal rollover crash in Libertyville

LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. - Lanes were reopened several hours after a person was killed in a crash early Friday on the Tri-State Tollway in north suburban Libertyville.

A gray BMW SUV was heading north at 2:13 a.m. on I-94 near Park Avenue in Libertyville when the driver lost control and the SUV hit a semi and flipped over several times, according to a statement from Illinois State Police.

One male passenger from the BMW was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, according to state police. Two other passengers refused medical treatment.
