Chicago, IL – Five Injured in Major Car Wreck on Touhy Ave in Rogers Park

Chicago, IL - Five Injured in Major Car Wreck on Touhy Ave in Rogers Park

Chicago, IL (January 8, 2023) – On Sunday evening, January 8, a collision in Chicago’s Rogers Park resulted in five injuries.

According to the Chicago Police Department, a Chevy traveling east in the 1900 block of West Touhy Avenue sideswiped a vehicle, went through a red light, and collided with a vehicle traveling south on Clark Street.

Fire service teams who reported to the site of the incident said that a 52-year-old female was in critical condition, another 24-year-old female was in serious condition, and the other three victims were in fair to good condition.

The Chevy driver was issued a citation for running a red light, but the inquiry is still underway. CPD officers have supplied no other information to the public.

Our thoughts are extended to the injured victims and their loved ones. We hope for their full recovery.

Car Accident Rates in Chicagoland

Statistics indicate that there were around 90,000 auto accidents in Illinois in a single year. To add insult to injury, over a thousand individuals perished. Drunk driving, collisions with immobile objects, and high speeds are the three top causes of fatal automobile accidents.

A myriad of fatal or seriously injured incidents in Cook County occurs at or near major junctions. Recent estimates indicate that the greater Chicago metropolitan region accounts for more than a quarter of all traffic incidents in the state of Illinois.

Those who are injured in vehicle accidents are often required to pay for the negligence of others. As if coping with physical pain and mental stress caused by an accident weren’t enough, patients often face substantial financial worries related to their care.

Additionally, victims may be paid for the mental agony and loss of a loved one caused by an accident. If you were critically wounded in a vehicle accident that was not your fault, you should immediately contact a Chicago personal injury attorney.

In Illinois, if another driver’s negligence or contempt for the law caused an automobile accident in which you were hurt, you have the right to seek restitution via the courts. If you have been involved in a car accident in Illinois, you should see an attorney immediately.

  • "Excellent Law Firm!"

    I cannot recommend D&W Law Group enough. From the moment I met the team, I felt confident that I was in good hands. They kept in touch with me every step of the way. My attorneys fought the insurance company, and we settled my case without having to go to court. Excellent law firm!

  • "Great Settlement"

    When I had my accident, the insurance company dragged its feet. I tried to handle the case on my own. I am so glad I decided to hire D&W Law Group. They kept my case moving, and I was awarded a great settlement. I hope I never need an attorney again, but if I do I will call them.
