Chicago, IL – Injuries Recorded in Vehicle Wreck on I-94 Dan Ryan at King Dr

On Behalf of | Apr 3, 2023 | General

Chicago, IL (April 2, 2023) – Multiple police units were dispatched to the scene of a crash involving two automobiles on Saturday, April 1.

As soon as dispatch informed the Chicago Police Department of the incident at 5:10 p.m., police reported to the eastbound side of I-94 Dan Ryan. A two-car accident occurred right before the exit for King Drive, causing a traffic jam that stretched back to 87th Street. It seems that one victim was also transported to the hospital by emergency services in the Chicago area.

However, no additional details have been provided, and the investigation continues at this time. The Chicago Police Department has issued a call for witnesses in the meantime.

Our thoughts remain with the injured victims and their families.

Chicago-area Traffic Collisions

According to data, there were about 95,000 car accidents in just one recent year in Illinois. Over 920 incidents claimed the lives of about 1,010 people. The three biggest causes of fatal car accidents are intoxicated driving, collisions with stationary objects, and high speeds.

When it comes to deadly and injury-causing accidents in Cook County, many of them occur at or around busy intersections. Statistics show that the greater Chicago metropolitan area accounts for more than a quarter of all traffic accidents in the state of Illinois that were recently made public.

Victims of car accidents are often forced to pay the price for someone else’s carelessness. Significant financial obstacles are associated with treatment as if the patient’s physical suffering and emotional stress from the event weren’t enough.

The victims may also be paid for the emotional agony they went through as a result of the catastrophe or the wrongful loss of a family member. If you were not responsible for the collision that caused your injuries, you should not wait to contact a Chicago automobile accident attorney.
