The Illinois State Police (ISP) Division of Patrol Troop 9 and Division of Criminal Investigation Zone 8 are actively investigating reports of Vehicular Endangerment in Effingham and Shelby counties.
Multiple damage to vehicle reports have been taken as a result of objects being thrown from overpasses along Interstate 57.These dangerous incidents, which have occurred over the past week, are being treated as cases of Vehicular Endangerment, a Class 2 Felony under Illinois law.

ISP is asking the public for assistance in identifying any suspects or suspicious activity in the area of Interstate 57 near overpasses between Effingham and Sigel (mileposts 165 to 170). Witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage from the affected area during the nighttime hours in recent days are urged to contact ISP at (217) 342-7871. This is an active and ongoing investigation.
