Rosemont, IL – Man Dead, Three Hurt in Multi-Car Crash at Mannheim & Irving Park Rds

Rosemont, IL (July 15, 2022) – On Thursday night, July 14, one man was killed and three others were injured in an automobile accident near O’Hare Airport.

The collision occurred when a gray or silver Honda Civic ran a red light and attempted to turn left onto Mannheim Road near Irving Park Road, according to Chicago Police officers. The Honda was struck by many vehicles as a result.

A 30-year-old victim, one of the Honda passengers, was transported to Lutheran General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The 59-year-old driver sustained significant injuries but remains hospitalized. A three-year-old child and a man from one of the other vehicles were also sent to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries and are expected to recover.

The police have issued citations as investigators continue their investigation.

Our sincerest condolences are extended to the family of the deceased man. The accident victims are in our thoughts, and we wish them a swift recovery.

Rosemont-area Auto Accident Fatalities

Red-light runners are annually responsible for hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries. More than 900 people were killed in crashes due to reckless drivers running red lights in 2020. The majority of red-light runners’ victims were pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers of other vehicles. In addition, an estimated 115,700 people were injured in incidents involving red-light running in 2020.

A driver has broken the law if he or she arrives at an intersection after the traffic signal has turned red. Drivers who are inadvertently present at a crossroads when the light turns red (for instance, while waiting to turn left) are not considered to have run a red light.

In regions where a right turn on a red light is permitted, vehicles that fail to come to a complete stop before turning may be deemed to have violated the red light law. Those who turn right on red at limited intersections are also in violation.

These and other types of traffic accidents are all too prevalent in and around Cook County, with the vast majority occurring at high-traffic junctions and major thoroughfares or interstates. Recent state statistics indicate that more than a quarter of all auto accidents in Illinois occur in the Chicago metropolitan area.

Consequently, persons injured in motor vehicle collisions caused by the carelessness of another must often pay for their own medical treatment. If that’s not bad enough, those suffering from injuries must also struggle with the mental pain brought on by escalating medical bills, horrible physical injuries causing nagging pain, and a variety of financial issues.
