"Dust storm causes deadly 72-vehicle pileup in Illinois"

A dust storm in central Illinois caused a pile-up crash of over 70 cars, killing six people and injuring more than 30 others. The incident occurred on I-55, which was closed for nearly 20 miles. The dust storm was caused by high winds blowing dirt from nearby farm fields onto the interstate, reducing visibility to near zero. The injuries range from minor to life-threatening, and those hurt are 2 to 80 years old. The roadway is not expected to reopen until at least Tuesday morning.
