Yorkville Truck Driver Dies in I-80 Crash

A Yorkville man who lost control of his truck Monday morning on Interstate 80, near Minooka, has died from injuries sustained in the crash, Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Wilfredo Rivera said.

Joseph J. Drwal, 35, died at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, where he'd been airlifted following the 9 a.m. accident, Rivera said.

Police still do not know what caused Drwal to cross from the westbound to the eastbound lanes of traffic, causing his semi-truck to roll and spill its cooking oil contents, he said.

While no other vehicles were involved in the crash, pieces of debris did come loose from the truck and struck other vehicles, he said. No one else was injured.
