Multi-vehicle crash snags outbound Stevenson Expressway at Halsted Street
Only one lane was open at 5 p.m. on the outbound Stevenson (I-55) at Halsted Street, just past the Dan Ryan Expressway (I-90/94) merge.
Ramps from both directors of the Dan Ryan feed and merge onto the outbound Stevenson, making for traffic jams in multiple directions.
Information about the crash was not immediately confirmed. But at least six vehicles were involved, and first responders from the Chicago Fire Department were on the scene.
Illinois State Police were also on the scene, as were Chicago police — who were looking in the green space on the roadway for something someone may have thrown over.

FBI Issues US Social Media And Messaging Warning — What To Know
Beware of ramp and dump attacks, the FBI warns. It has been, without any shadow of a doubt, a busy few days regarding Federal Bureau of Investigation warnings concerning cybercrime. On June 30, the FBI issued an alert for the aviation industry that attackers from the Scattered Spider ransomware group were shifting their attention to this industry sector. By July 2, that FBI warning had become a stark reality as Qantas confirmed it had fallen victim to a 'cyber incident.' Now, the FBI has issued a public service advisory, as cybercriminals are using social media platforms and messaging apps to target U.S. stock investors with a ramp-and-dump fraud. Here's what you need to know. FBI Warns Of Ramp-And-Dump Frauds Using Social Media And Messaging Apps FBI Public Service Advisory I-070325-PSA, dated July 3, has warned the general public that cyber criminals are targeting anyone in the U.S. who is investing in stocks with a ramp-and-dump fraud that is initiated through the use of social media platforms promoting investment clubs. Many of the members of these so-called clubs have, upon investigation, turned out to be fake accounts, and active members are likely to be mostly bot-operated accounts. The social media posts, the FBI said, 'typically direct victims to secure messaging apps where the group operates.' And if you are already to dismiss victims as the easily fooled, the FBI goes on to warn that the attackers are impersonating 'legitimate brokerage firms or well-known stock analysts,' to create an air of respectability and, more importantly, trust. 'So far in 2025, the FBI has seen at least a 300 percent increase in victim complaints referencing ramp-and-dump stock fraud from 2024,' the FBI warned, revealing just how much of a problem this has become, hence the urgent need for the advisory. The criminals will have control over a relatively large volume of relatively low-priced stocks, and the aim of the fraud is to get investment club members to purchase shares over weeks or months in order to inflate the price. This is the ramp bit of the fraud involved. The dump comes into play once a suitably over-inflated price has been achieved and the fraudsters sell all their stock at a profit, with the investment club members left holding a fair bit of nothing at all as the price crashes. FBI Advice On How To Identify Ranp-And-Dump Stock Fraud The FBI advisory recommended that investors look to recognise the following indicators of ramp-and-dump schemes: Readers are urged to report any such incidents to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center at as soon as possible.

New Mom Is Frustrated with Mother-in-Law for Being 'Impossible to Please'
A new mom says her mother-in-law is getting on her last nerve In a post on Reddit, the woman writes that her husband's mom wants to see her new baby, but also refuses to actually visit The woman writes that she's now struggling to balance the whims of her mother-in-law with the anxiety of her husbandA woman says her mother-in-law is "impossible to please" — so much so that she isn't satisfied with anything concerning her new grandchild. In a post published on Reddit, the woman writes that she just gave birth two months ago to her mother-in-law's "first grandbaby" and yet she is making the birth "about her." "This week she's called husband to say she's going to have to take care of the baby soon if she's going to watch them occasionally while I'm at work. (We're not desperate for the help btw, she volunteered to babysit some)," she writes. While the woman writes that her mother-in-law was acting passive-aggressive and could have just called and asked to visit, she responded by saying she was more than welcome. But when the couple called to nail down a visit, the mother-in-law responded, 'Actually I'm too busy this week, maybe next week.' "For context she's been OBSESSED with becoming a grandma, tried to make a nursery in her house, had a grandma shower, and literally cried when my husband told her no one but us would be holding our baby the day of my c-section," she continues. She adds: "I'm starting to think maybe she's more selfish and/or manipulative than I presumed? It's definitely a different vibe than we had before any babies entered the picture." "She complains, but doesn't want to visit. Makes ridiculous requests, like that we travel to visit with a 1 month old, and gets annoyed when we say no. But she's obsessed with being a grandma and talks about it to all her friends," she writes. The woman adds that she's now struggling to balance the whims of her mother-in-law with the anxiety of her husband.

Other Reddit users are weighing in on the situation in the comments section, with one advising the poster, "If mil is impossible to please, stop trying to please her. It's not your task to please her." Adds another, seemingly from experience: "She's absolutely fishing for control and drama, classic 'grandma victim' move. Obsessed with the idea of being a grandma but not actually willing to do the work or respect boundaries. Your husband's anxiety just makes her puppet strings easier to pull. You're right to check yourself and not bend over backward for her circus. Keep your guard up, she's definitely trying to drive a wedge." Read the original article on People
