A crash backed up traffic on I-57 in Johnson County yesterday afternoon.

State Police say a Miami truck driver triggered the multi-vehicle accident by failing to slow down at the sight of some road construction and hitting the rear end of a car. Four vehicles – all driven by out of state drivers – were ultimately involved in the crash. One driver was taken to a local hospital with injuries.

The truck driver – 34 year old Raul Puentes – was charged with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.
