Illinois State Police have closed Highway 148 near the Crab Orchard Lake bridge in Williamson County after a fatal traffic crash.
Troopers say traffic is being diverted at Old Route 13 on the north side, and at Grassy Road on the south, while crews work to clear the debris and investigate just what happened.

Emergency responders were called just before 2:00pm to a two-vehicle crash. Early reports say the crash involves a semi and a passenger vehicle.

State Police say one person is dead as a result, but no other information is being released at this time.
