Chicago, IL (September 10, 2023) – A major truck accident took place in the Chicago area on Friday morning that left one person injured.
At around 4:30 a.m. on September 8, the Illinois State Police responded to the scene of a crash on the Tri-State Tollway, Interstate 294.
According to reports provided by authorities, a semi-truck in a passenger car collided on the southbound side of the interstate. The impact of the crash caused the tractor-trailer to overturn and come to rest on its side. The passenger car went off the right side of the roadway.
One person involved in the crash was injured. The victim was transported to Christ Hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Authorities shut down the three left lanes of travel as tow trucks worked to remove the damaged vehicles.

We hope the injured driver recovers quickly.
It is unfortunately common to see innocent people left with severe injuries as a result of truck accidents that take place here in Illinois. In many cases, innocent people are harmed as a result of truck accidents that are caused by negligent and reckless drivers. We frequently see innocent people hurt in crashes involving drunk drivers, speeding motorists, and drivers who fail to yield.
When drivers are reckless and negligent, they place the lives of innocent people sharing the road at risk. Victims of these accidents are often left with serious injuries that affect their ability to work, prevent them from enjoying activities with their families, and severely alter their lives.
