Tow is now on scene blocking the shoulder that many were using to get by this crash on WB 270 near Washington Elizabeth. Avoid WB 270 if you are just getting ready to head out of Illinois. I would head down to Lindbergh or 367 from North county and avoid the highway altogether pic.twitter.com/SnorHxbNS8
