A windstorm in south-central Illinois kicked up clouds of dust on Monday, causing numerous crashes that killed at least six people on Interstate 55, police said.

The crashes involved 72 vehicles, including two semi-trucks that caught fire, Illinois State Police Maj. Ryan Starrick said. The highway was shut down in both directions in Montgomery County, 75 miles north of St. Louis.

LiveNOW's Andrew Craft spoke with Brad Charboneau, from National Weather Service in St. Louis, about the deadly dust storm.
