Manteno traffic fatality ID’d

We have an ID now on the man killed yesterday morning when he was hit by a semi on the northbound I-57 exit ramp in Manteno. Kankakee County Coroner Bob Gessner identified the victim as 37-year-old Thomas Andrews of Midlothian.    Illinois State Police say that Andrews was a pedestrian when he was hit by a semi just before 5:30 yesterday morning, but it’s still unclear how it happened. Gessner said he was awaiting video of the event before issuing a statement. The exit ramp had to be closed for several hours while State Police worked on the scene. We hope to know more about what happened later today.
