A 71-year-old Matteson man was killed in a chain-reaction crash this morning on the Dan Ryan Expressway at 79th Street on the South Side. No one else was hurt.
Killed was James Powell, of the 600 block of Highland Road in the south suburb, said State Police Master Sgt. Michelle Tufenkjian, correcting information regarding the victim's name.
Three out of the five southbound lanes of the expressway (Interstate Highway 90/94) were closed for three hours following the crash, which happened about 4:20 a.m.
