One person was injured when a semi and truck collided near Neoga Monday afternoon.

State police report the crash happened just before 4pm on I-57, three miles south of Neoga. A semi driven by 41-year-old Brian McGrath of Dwight was traveling northbound behind a truck driven by 49-year-old John Cullota, Jr. of St. Charles. Cullota slowed for an IDOT snow plow, but McGrath was unable to see that Cullota slowed due to whiteout conditions from blowing snow and struck McGrath from behind.

Cullota was injured and was taken for treatment. 

No citations were issued.
