Manhattan, IL – Several Injured, Rescued After Three-Car Wreck on US 52 at Baker Rd

Manhattan, IL - Several Victims Injured, Rescued After Three-Vehicle Wreck on US 52 at Baker Rd

Manhattan, IL (May 21, 2023) – After a three-car accident took place in Manhattan at about 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon on Monday, authorities claimed three individuals needed to be extricated from their cars, and one sustained life-threatening injuries.

Following the accident near Baker Road on U.S. Highway 52 in Manhattan, Manhattan Fire Chief Steve Malone reported that three individuals were rushed to local hospitals, one with life-threatening injuries. Two others sought treatment on their own.

Based on preliminary information, Manhattan Police Chief Jeff Wold noted that three vehicles were involved in the collision: a sedan, a pickup truck, and a construction truck.

Specific details surrounding the victims, or the ultimate cause of the wreck have not yet been released. An investigation is still ongoing.

Our thoughts remain with the injured victims in hopes of their complete recovery.

Serious Vehicle Accidents in Illinois

In only one recent year, traffic analysts and related officials reported that 1,000 to 1,100 people lost their lives in Illinois due to over 900 incidents. The leading causes of fatal automobile accidents in the state have been shown to be high speeds, colliding with immobile objects, and driver distraction.

Many serious accidents and fatalities in Cook County take place on multi-lane highways. It’s also worth noting that the Chicago metropolitan region accounts for about a third of all accidents in the state of Illinois.

Those who are injured in automobile accidents often pay the price for the negligence of others on the road. Injuries to one’s mind and pocketbook following such sad events can often be just as devastating as physical injuries. Any Chicago resident who suffers injuries in a car crash that they believe was caused by another driver’s carelessness should contact an attorney without delay.

In Illinois, you may file a claim for damages if you were wounded in a car accident that wasn’t your fault. If you were in a car accident in Illinois, speaking with a lawyer specializing in cases like yours might be beneficial. Needless to say, negotiating with the negligent driver’s insurance company on your own might be difficult.

  • "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.
