The last vehicle involved in the incident occurred about 2 hours after I-94 had been closed, when an eastbound Illinios vehicle drove around the close barricade in Jamestown\u00a0 and collided with a wrecked semi that remained in the passing lane.<\/p>\n

That vehicle was totaled, however, neither occupant was transported for injuries.<\/p>\n

A total of five individuals\u00a0 transported by Jamestown Ambulance Service, to Jamestown Regional Medical Center were treated and released with minor injuries.<\/p>\n
