Traffic was restricted to one lane on eastbound I-255 as Columbia police and fire personnel assisted Illinois State Police with a two-vehicle crash just east of the JB Bridge on Saturday night. The crash occurred about 8:30 p.m.

A fire official said two cars were traveling west on I-255 at a high rate of speed when one of them spun out, striking a guardrail on the westbound side before veering off the roadway through the median and crossing into the eastbound lanes, hitting another guardrail.

Minor injuries were reported but none of those involved required medical transport.
