Atv drives recklessly on highway shoulder and wrong way, Will County IL
Police are pursuing an ATV that is driving dangerously on highway I-55 near Lockport Street and South Indian Boundary Line Road. The ATV is moving slowly at about 10 to 18 miles per hour, swerving on the shoulder and grassy areas, and traveling both northbound and southbound, including the wrong way. Multiple troopers are responding to intercept the ATV, but it is evading capture with difficult driving maneuvers. The situation is ongoing and considered hazardous due to reckless ATV operation on the interstate shoulder and lanes.
