🚨 Traffic? CHILE, You Have No Idea…
Drivers on I-88 near Route 53 in Lisle, IL did NOT sign up for a real-life game of “Dodge That Pipe!” early Monday morning. A semi-truck said “I’m done holding it together!” and completely dumped its load of giant steel pipes across the road like it was a metal-themed Mario Kart level.
These pipes flew off the truck with so much force, they went right over the center median and ended up blocking traffic in both directions like they owned the place. Some even landed on cars in the westbound lanes—thankfully, no serious injuries were reported, but let’s be real: this could’ve been a whole Final Destination moment. 😱
Traffic was a mess, and the cleanup wasn’t quick—drivers were sitting ducks for hours while emergency crews and cranes cleaned up the chaos. The Morton Arboretum area turned into a no-go zone.
And get this… officials still haven’t said what caused the semi to lose its load. 👀 Suspicious much?
