Windsor FPD Responds To Accident On IL Route 32 Monday

On June 16, 2025 at approximately 8:30am, Windsor Fire was dispatched to a 1 vehicle roll over of a semi tanker, north of Windsor, IL on IL RT32. Upon arrival of the first units, it was observed to have been a south bound, small semi tank load of fertilizer, far less dangerous than was previously believed by responders. The fertilizer posed no serious threat to responders, the driver of the truck, bystanders, nor the community as a whole.

Those arriving on scene first were able to help the driver out of the truck where Windsor Ambulance personnel on scene immediately took over patient care. There were no other vehicles or person involved, although there was a very close call for a north bound vehicle that narrowly missed colliding with the semi. ILRT32 was closed for several hours due to the extensive cleanup needed and to provide safety to all parties involved in those efforts. The road way was cleared and traffic flow restored at approximately 1pm June 16, 2025. We understand the driver of the truck to have suffered minor injuries and is expected to make a full recovery.

We would like to thank the community for being understanding of the imposition caused by such a lengthy road closure. We are also grateful for the help we were given by our neighboring departments:
