A semi-trailer truck also rolled over as recently as Monday August 19, 2013 at almost the exact location on the westbound ramp. The truck rolled completely upside-down, but the driver was able to get out of the vehicle on his own. That driver was also injured and transported to Northwest Community Hospital after the crash that occurred three weeks prior.
The off ramp is the site of frequent truck rollover crashes.
