Hitting the hot spots — A Virginia volunteer firefighter hoses down hot spots inside what is left of a semi-tractor trailer destroyed in a fiery crash on Illinois Route 125 last Thursday morning.

One lane traffic was still reported as late as 9 p.m. as crews worked to clear the crash scene. (Photo by Brian DeLoche
