Crash in Lee County snarls I-39 traffic
Posted by wlpo on December 8, 2016
A fatal crash north of Paw Paw shut down southbound Interstate 39 traffic for several hours Wednesday morning.
State troopers believe 44-year-old Rusty Garner of Tennessee was driving drunk when he hit a semi parked on the shoulder of the interstate just before two in the morning. Garner survived the crash and was flown to a Rockford hospital while two passengers in his SUV were pronounced dead at the scene. Their names haven’t been released.
Traffic was diverted off of southbound I-39 for about five hours.
