Dairon Socarras Quintero receives instructions from medical personnel at the reconciliation station in Divernon, Ill., after he had a cut on his leg bandaged following a multi-vehicle crash Monday, May 1, 2023. Police said a windstorm in central Illinois kicked up dangerous clouds of blinding dust off farm fields Monday, causing numerous crashes that killed multiple people on Interstate 55. Quintero said that after his truck hit the vehicle in front of him, he exited and moved to the side of the road to ensure his safety, then returned after the chain reaction of crashes ended behind him.
