Streets in suburban Elk Grove Village were closed early Wednesday following a severe two-vehicle crash late Tuesday night, which left several individuals injured and resulted in debris scattered across the roadways.
The Elk Grove Village Police Department reported that officers were dispatched to the scene at the intersection of Biesterfield Road and Meacham Road at approximately 11:22 p.m. on Tuesday. The crash, involving two vehicles, resulted in multiple injuries. First responders promptly transported all injured parties to nearby hospitals for medical treatment. However, no further details regarding the victims' identities or their current conditions have been released at this time.
As of 5 a.m. Wednesday, the crash scene remained under active investigation. Yellow police tape cordoned off the area, with officers meticulously examining the site for evidence. The intersection of Biesterfield and Meacham Roads was expected to stay closed "until further notice," causing significant disruption to early morning traffic.
Eyewitnesses and initial reports indicate that one of the vehicles involved in the collision was severely damaged, with the front end and driver's side almost entirely destroyed. The extent of the damage suggests a high-impact collision. Tragically, the Cook County Medical Examiner's office confirmed one fatality resulting from the crash. The identity of the deceased has not been disclosed, pending notification of next of kin.
Police have not provided additional details on the victims involved in the crash. As the investigation continues, authorities are working to determine the cause of the collision and any contributing factors. Further updates from the Elk Grove Village Police Department are anticipated as more information becomes available.
