EFFINGHAM COUNTY, Ill. (WCIA) — Two semis were involved in a property damage crash on Interstate 70 in Effingham County on Sunday.

It happened around 5:35 p.m. by mile marker 100 in the eastbound lanes. Illinois State Police said those lanes were shut down promptly as they investigated. No one was hurt.

I-57 closed part of Sunday night after accident

The incident comes just a month after I-70 construction started back up in the area. The project involves reconstructing the westbound lanes, requiring traffic to be reduced to the eastbound lanes with one lane of travel for both directions.

No injuries were reported from the accident, ISP said. All lanes were open by 8 p.m.

Chinese EV makers, and their connected vehicles, targeted by new House bill
Chinese EV manufacturers face a new challenge in their pursuit of U.S. customers: a new House bill that would limit or ban the introduction of their connected vehicles. The bill, introduced by U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, comes as the trade war between the U.S. and China heightens in the aftermath of the Biden administration’s decision to quadruple import duties on Chinese electric vehicles to 100%. The bill’s goal appears to curb manufacturers before they can flood the American market with smart, cheap cars.

Is Apple planning to 'sherlock' Arc?
One of the more innovative features of the mobile web browser Arc Search from The Browser Company is its ability to search the web for you and then spit back a summary of what it learned, instead of returning a more traditional set of search results. The term came about following Apple's release of a finder app named Sherlock in the late 1990s, which offered features similar to a third-party finder app Watson. Since then, whenever Apple ships a new feature or app that seems "inspired" by another, it's been referred to as "sherlocking."
