This is our second crash of the morning involving a Ford work truck and a European sports car. In both the trucks have been fine to drive off on their own while the cars need tows. Scoreboard: America 2, Europe 0. 'Murica! #ChicagoTraffic WBBM Newsradio

This truck was hauling 80,000 pounds of ice cream that is now a puddle across all lanes of I-80 in #Minooka. That weeping you hear is the sound of Cisco Cotto in mourning for all that delicious dessert. #ChicagoTraffic WBBM Newsradio

As Kris Habermehl explained with no clouds around, the Blue Angels are doing a "High Show" today. That means they are visible all over Chicago, even from the Northwest side. Hear all the action again tomorrow starting at 10 on WBBM Newsradio 780AM and on the Audacy app.

A huge group of demonstrators carrying Palestinian flags is marching up Michigan Ave, blocking all lanes approaching Wacker. This is just a taste of what is likely to come with the Democratic National Convention in just a week and a half. #ChicagoTraffic WBBM Newsradio

#Lemont fire crews have knocked the fire out but now the tires are melted and a heavy tow is en route to clear this truck. #Traffic is jammed on both directions of I-55 in and out of Will County. #ChicagoTraffic WBBM Newsradio

A mess in #Aurora with this rollover semi blocking lanes on SB Orchard Rd at Tollway Trip 88. Use Route 31 to get to the Reagan tollway instead until this can get cleaned up. #Traffic #ChicagoTraffic WBBM Newsradio

Wild how a quadruple murder isn’t enough to get the head of the CTA to stand at a podium and take questions — especially right after his agency was parading new gun-detecting surveillance software on his trains

Surprise! Columbus is closed thru #GrantPark between Jackson and Balbo for Taste of Chicago setup. No heads up from the city but thanks to our intrepid tipster Mitch Rosen for the scoop. Use Michigan Ave or DuSable Lake Shore Drive this week. #ChicagoTraffic WBBM Newsradio

“Oh my goodness. The White Sox have just gone full White Sox.” Kevin Brown sums up the Chicago White Sox, who are on their way to a 31-109 record.

Day 3 of closures in #GrantPark for Taste of Chicago setup and still not a peep from CDOT or Chicago OEMC.🤷🏻‍♂️ Aaaannnnywho, Columbus is closed Monroe-Balbo. Jackson and Ida B Wells closed thru the park as well. Maybe they will reopen Monday?! #ChicagoTraffic WBBM Newsradio

Saw this on my fact finding stroll through Grant Park today. Pretty reasonable beer prices at the Taste of Chicago this weekend. After a summer spent drinking at Clark and Addison these prices feel like a steal. Chicago Bars

I mean sure, they've been closed most of this week and this is the first mention of it from the city. But hey, timely! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Pet Shop Boys better stay inside and lock the doors. You too Snoop Dogg. And Pitbull.

THEY’RE EATING CATS!!

"Expect additional traffic," they said. The current situation at 35th and Shields:

Another Chicago OEMC surprise! The Columbus bridge over the Chicago River is raised today for bridge testing ahead of the Fall boat run season. Stick with Michigan Ave until about 2 this afternoon. #ChicagoTraffic WBBM Newsradio 📸: Mai Martinez

I'm 95% sure bert kreischer is slingin' hot dogs at Wrigley today. The only reason I'm not totally convinced? This dude still has his shirt on.
