A crash closed Illinois Roues 32-33 in both directions northwest of Effingham Wednesday afternoon.

Authorities say that a pickup truck ran off the highway to the south and then struck a power pole. The driver of the vehicle was ejected. A helicopter was landed on the highway to get the person involved in the crash taken for treatment. 

As a result, Routes 32-33 was closed in both directions, both in and out of town, from Ford Avenue at Effingham to Lake Sara Road by Louie's Country Corner.

Authorities said the roadway was open again by 5pm.
