A two-car wreck on I-71 southbound slowed traffic Friday afternoon just past the La Grange exit.
A maroon Ford Explorer attempted to merge after getting on I-71 at exit 20 and rear-ended a brown van. The van went into the emergency lane and came to a stop, according to La Grange Fire Department Major Keith Smith.
The Explorer left the roadway and spun around in the median, ending up facing north.
The van's two occupants and the driver of the Explorer all refused transport.
The wreck has been cleared and I-71 is open.
