Two accidents involving multiple semi trucks and other vehicles have shut down Interstate 90 eastbound in the same stretch of highway where a 31-car pileup happened on Tuesday during the holiday commute. Dispatchers say two crashes were reported about 8 p.m. I-90 eastbound is closed at state Route 615, they said. One westbound lane was also closed. The accident happened near the state Route 44 exit, the same spot of Tuesday's major crash. The Lake County Sheriff's office said two semi trucks and multiple cars are involved in the crash. A 10-mile stretch of I-90 eastbound was closed for six hours on Tuesday, when the weather dumped snow on the roads. Investigators said Friday they believe speed was more of a factor than a construction project where the accident occurred. Eight people were taken to area hospitals, including one with a broken ankle and one with a broken pelvis, according to investigators. None of the injuries were life-threatening.
