Chicago, IL – One Hospitalized After Rollover Accident on Kennedy Expy at Sayre Ave

Chicago, IL - One Hospitalized After Rollover Accident on Kennedy Expy at Sayre Ave

Chicago, IL (February 21, 2023) – During the Tuesday afternoon rush hour in greater Chicago, a rollover vehicle crash took place on the outbound Kennedy Expressway and reportedly resulted in one person being hurt.

The accident occurred at around 3:25 p.m. near Sayre Avenue, located on the city’s northwest side, according to the Illinois State Police. ISP added that one individual was transferred to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. It’s unclear if any other victims were hurt in the incident.

Just after 4:20 p.m., the accident was cleared, though traffic remained jammed back to Montrose Avenue.

At this time, the accident still remains under investigation, and no other information has been revealed.

Our thoughts go out to the injured victims and their families. We hope for their full recovery.

Car Accidents in the Chicago Area

According to the statistics, there were around 90,000 vehicle accidents in Illinois in a single year. To compound the tragedy, nearly a thousand people died. Drunk driving, collisions with stationary objects, and excessive speed are the three leading causes of fatal car accidents.

Numerous fatal or critically wounded occurrences occur at or around key intersections throughout Cook County. Recent estimates show that greater Chicago is responsible for more than a quarter of all traffic accidents in Illinois.

Those harmed in automobile accidents are often asked to pay for the carelessness of others. As if dealing with physical agony and emotional anguish brought on by accidents weren’t enough, patients often confront significant financial concerns associated with their treatment.

In addition, accident victims may be compensated for mental anguish and the death of a loved one. If you were seriously injured in a car accident that was not your fault, you should immediately contact a Chicago personal injury lawyer.

In Illinois, if another driver’s carelessness or disregard for the law caused a vehicle accident in which you were injured, you may seek reimbursement via the courts. If you have been involved in an automobile accident in Illinois, you should immediately consult with an attorney. Without legal representation, you may have difficulties getting enough reimbursement from the at-fault driver’s insurance company for your long-term medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses.

  • "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.
