1Opinion of the Court
KANNE, Circuit Judge.
Dennis Hernandez caused a severe automobile accident in Southern Illinois that closed northbound 1-57 for several hours. The resulting traffic jam stretched at least four and one-half miles. With traffic still not moving four hours later, truck driver Milinko Cukovic rear-ended David Blood’s vehicle. Among others, Blood brought a personal-injury suit against Hernandez and several related entities on the theory that Hernandez proximately caused the second accident. Unconvinced, the district court entered summary judgment for Hernandez and the other defendants. We affirm.
