Police said the worker was on a lift painting Hubbard’s Cave, but was struck by a semi-truck that did not stop at the scene.

This crash triggered a second crash involving at least two vehicles.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the worker as 54-year-old Francisco Padilla-Gutierrez. Police said the people in those vehicles refused treatment.

The lanes, which were closed for a few hours, were reopened around 12.30 p.m.
