Illinois State Police investigated a semi rollover west of Watseka Wednesday afternoon. Traffic was slowed while emergency responders worked the scene along Route 24. A Missouri truck driver escaped serious injury when he swerved to avoid a deer. The rig left the roadway and was on its side in the north ditch. The semi driver was treated for injuries at IMH. He was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid the accident.
