Fourteen Illinois State Police Troopers have been been struck by vehicles thus far in 2019, way ahead of last year's total of eight.

It's pothole season in the Rockford area and all throughout the state--and Illinois motorists really don't like it one bit.

That news may come as a surprise to anyone who's just had their alignment jarred loose by a Rockford pothole.

With an excessive heat warning in effect for our area, you can't help but wonder...

It's that fun, post-winter time in Rockford when you begin to wonder when, not if, you'll knock your car out of alignment hitting a pothole.

As the weather arms up this weekend, and you travel Illinois' roadways, be on the look out for traveling turtles.

We've long had an incorrect adage in these parts about seasons: The only seasons we have in Rockford are winter and road construction. Not true. We actually have three of them if you include pothole season.

Your alignment, shocks, struts, and tires are going to need a little t.l.c. this spring. When will crews starting fixing up the most annoying part of driving through Rockford?

17% of your waking hours (about 18 hours) are spent behind the wheel of a car each and every week if you're an average American. However, sharing the roads with lots of high-risk drives makes it seem like a lot more.

Not much of a choice for Illinois' consumers, but when our state needs to drop $41 billion over the next 10 years on fixing our roads and updating our infrastructure, lawmakers are looking at a big reach into your pockets.
