A serious crash involving three tractor trailers snarled traffic on Interstate 90 near Illinois Route 47 west of Elgin on Thursday morning.

All westbound lanes of Interstate 90 were blocked as of 7 a.m. Eastbound traffic was getting by using just one lane.

It was immediately unclear as to the extend of any injuries, though ISP reported that one person was taken to Sherman Hospital in Elgin.
