Overhead signs collapse, close I-64 near St. Louis

An overhead sign collapsed onto Interstate 64 in Illinois across from St. Louis, closing all four lanes of the road early Thursday morning.

The Illinois Department of Transportation said that a tractor-trailer failed to lower its dump bed and struck the sign, according to police.

All four westbound lanes of I-64 at I-255 were closed for several hours in St. Clair County near Caseyville. The interstate eventually reopened before the afternoon rush hour.

No injuries were reported.
