COLLINSVILLE, IL - The Illinois State Police, District 11, is currently working an injury crash on IL-159 at Mulligan (south of Belleville). No lane blockage is reported with the crash.

We are starting to get numerous calls on cars sliding into ditches. Please remind motorists:
- Please drive slow. The road may seem clear but there are slick spots.
- Just because you are in an four-wheel-drive SUV/Truck, doesn't mean you are immune from sliding into a ditch.
- Give the snowplows plenty of room and be prepared for them to stop/turn around.
