Chicago, IL – Several Hurt in Multi-Vehicle Collision on I-57 Inbound at Sauk Trl

Chicago, IL - Several Hurt in Multi-Vehicle Collision on I-57 Inbound at Sauk Trl

Chicago, IL (May 8, 2022) – Two people suffered injuries after a multi-vehicle accident that took place in Chicago on Sunday afternoon, May 8.

Around 3:30 p.m., police were dispatched to the scene on Interstate 57, just south of Sauk Trail. Though the events leading up to the collision are still unknown, officers say two vehicles collided in the area, leaving at least two or three people hurt.

Both victims were taken to a local medical center with minor to moderate injuries but are expected to make a full recovery. The identifying information of those involved has not been provided, however.

No citations have been written at this time, and Chicago Police Department officers say their investigation is ongoing. Witnesses and any other person with information are asked to contact the CPD.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families. We hope for their full recovery.

Highway Traffic Accidents in Illinois

Chicago, IL - Several Hurt in Multi-Vehicle Collision on I-57 Inbound at Sauk TrlEach year, officials with the Federal Highway Administration (FHA) report more than 2.5 million intersection accidents, most involving left turns and distracted driving. Throughout the nation, 40% of all vehicle crashes involve intersections, per authorities. This is the second-largest category of auto accidents, topped only by rear-end collisions.

Unfortunately, a large number of car wrecks, particularly those at busy intersections, happen in Cook County. In fact, state officials say that nearly 25% of all Illinois auto accidents occur in and around the Chicago metro region.

Regardless of the cause of a collision, when victims suffer injuries caused by the reckless actions of others, they and their family members pay the price. Faced with devastating emotional trauma and expensive medical bills, those affected by these serious incidents may feel like they have nowhere to turn.

Thankfully, if you’ve sustained injuries in one of these accidents or even lost a loved one, you may have a number of legal options available to you in the aftermath.
