According to the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department, the ****** involved two semis and three passenger vehicles. Two people were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

Traffic was initially shut down in both directions. While the northbound lanes reopened around 6 p.m., southbound traffic remained closed. The backups lasted hours and stretched for miles into Racine County. Drivers were diverted onto frontage roads, where the gridlock continued.

“My daughter is waiting at the airport, and we are going to pick her up,” said Sahana. “We have been stopped for about two-and-a-half, three hours now.”

The southbound lanes were cleared around 9:05 p.m. – but the delays did not stop there.

Southbound lanes were cleared around 9:05 p.m. – but backups began again minutes later.

According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, a car ***** was reported in the same area around 9:10 p.m. It blocked the left shoulder of I-94 southbound in Racine County, just north of CTH-KR.

The Racine County Sheriff’s Office said a man experienced a medical event, leading to a ******. There was no sign of impairment, and no one required medical transport. The man’s vehicle caught ***** and was a total loss.
