SPRINGFIELD, IL – A woman and a child sustained fatal injuries Tuesday in a two-vehicle crash involving a semi in south-central Springfield.

According to abc 20, the accident happened shortly after 6:30 a.m. on the southbound side of I-55 near mile marker 92. This is just northwest of the University of Illinois Springfield.

Police say that for unknown reasons, a car crashed into the rear of an 18-wheeler on the interstate.

Two people from the car — a 37-year-old woman and an 8-year-old girl — died at the scene of the collision.

It’s unclear if anyone in the semi-truck sustained injuries.

A full investigation is underway.
