Chicago, IL – I-294 Site of Car Crash, Injuries at Hinsdale Oasis

Chicago, IL - I-294 Site of Car Crash, Injuries at Hinsdale Oasis

Chicago, IL (May 4, 2023) – On Thursday evening, May 4, several police units were sent to the scene of a car accident that had occurred on a highway in the Chicago region.

The Chicago Police Department was alerted at 9:50 p.m., and officers reached the scene on I-294/Tri-State Tollway shortly thereafter. A two-car accident occurred in the southbound lanes, just before the Hinsdale Oasis exit, per the Chicago PD. One person was taken by ambulance to the hospital after they sustained injuries in the wreck, but their current condition is unknown.

The investigation continues in the meantime. Officers with the Chicago Police Department have also called for witnesses to come forward.

The injured victims remain in our thoughts at this time.

Multi-Driver Collisions in Chicago

The annual number of vehicle accidents in Illinois is estimated to be 90,000. In fact, over 900 distinct incidents claimed the lives of approximately 1,000 people. The three leading causes of fatal automobile accidents are intoxicated driving, collisions with fixed objects, and high speeds.

In Cook County, many accidents resulting in death or severe injury occur on or near major thoroughfares. More than a quarter of all traffic incidents in the state of Illinois occur in and around the greater Chicago metropolitan region, according to recently published statistics.

Victims of automobile accidents are often forced to bear the financial burden caused by another driver’s carelessness. The exorbitant price of treatment adds emotional and financial stress to the patient’s already difficult situation.

The emotional distress brought on by the catastrophe or the unjustifiable death of a loved one may also be paid for. If you were harmed in a car accident that was not your fault, you should not hesitate to contact a Chicago auto accident attorney.

If you’ve been hurt in a car crash that was someone else’s fault, you may sue that person and their insurance company for damages in Illinois. In the aftermath of a car crash in the state of Illinois, anybody injured should see an attorney without delay. You may have difficulty obtaining full compensation from the irresponsible driver’s insurance company without legal assistance.

  • "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.
