The Illinois State Police says a 36-year-old man from Minneapolis, Minnesota was pronounced dead at the scene.
He was a passenger in one of the semis. His identity is not being released pending notification of family.
The others involved in the incident did not report any injuries.
Troopers say a semi driven by 35-year-old Hussein Abdi Digale from Columbus, Ohio was disabled and partially stopped in the right lane of northbound I-57 at milepost 32.
Another semi driven by 42-year-old Mohamud Hassan Dacar from Minneapolis struck Digale's trailer.
The northbound lanes of I-57 were closed for several hours.
