Chicago, IL (September 29, 2024) – A three-car crash in Englewood sent five people to the hospital early Sunday morning, September 29.
Chicago police said a 32-year-old man driving a Dodge sedan ran a red light in the 7400 block of South Loomis Boulevard just after midnight. According to a statement from the Illinois State Police, a Nissan sedan, driven by a 40-year-old woman, was traveling westbound when it struck the Dodge. The Dodge then hit a Chevy SUV, driven by a 52-year-old man, that was stopped and facing southbound.
All three drivers and two passengers, one from the Dodge and one from the Nissan, were taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center. Police said the driver of the Dodge was issued a citation; no further details were released as an investigation is ongoing, however.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their family members in hopes of their full recovery.
