Stevenson, IL – Two Drivers Collide on I-55 at Cicero Ave, Causing Injuries

Stevenson, IL - Two Drivers Collide on I-55 at Cicero Ave, Causing Injuries

Stevenson, IL (October 22, 2022) – On the evening of October 22, officers from Stevenson and Chicago responded to a crash involving two vehicles on the Cicero Avenue exit ramp off Interstate 55.

Police started their inquiry on the Inbound side of the motorway at about 9:40 p.m. Police and paramedics were sent to the area to check for injuries and clear the roadway, causing significant delays on Interstate 55. As a result of the incident, another vehicle caught fire, and firemen from Chicago Fire Rescue responded to the scene.

Local TV video showed at least two people being taken to the hospital, but no official injury count has been issued.

The police, however, have not provided any updates. The Stevenson PD has asked anybody with information to please get in touch.

We continue to keep the wounded victims in our thoughts for a speedy and full recovery.

Chicagoland Traffic Accidents

Over 900 crashes resulted in the deaths of 1,000 to 1,100 people in Illinois in just one recent year, according to traffic analysts and related officials. Research in the state has identified excessive speeds, collisions with stationary objects, and driver distraction as the primary causes of fatal car accidents.

Multi-lane roadways are the scene of several fatal incidents and significant injuries in Cook County. The greater Chicago area is responsible for almost one-third of all accidents in Illinois.

Injured motorists often bear the brunt of other drivers’ carelessness. It’s possible that mental and financial wounds sustained in the wake of tragic occurrences are as bit as terrible as physical ones. If you’re a Chicago resident and you’ve been hurt in an automobile accident that you think was caused by another driver’s negligence, you should talk to a lawyer right once.

You may seek compensation in Illinois if you suffer injuries in a vehicle accident that wasn’t your fault. You may want to see an attorney who has experience with auto accident lawsuits in Illinois if you were recently involved in one. It may be challenging to negotiate with the insurance company of the irresponsible motorist on your own.

  • "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.
