3 people injured when car hits fire truck on I-57 on Chicago's South Side
Three people were injured early Sunday when a car hit a fire truck that was on the scene for an earlier crash on I-57 on Chicago's South Side.
At 2:32 a.m., Illinois State Police were called to northbound Interstate 57 at 99th Street for a two-vehicle crash involving a Chicago Fire Department ladder truck.
The fire truck was stationary with its lights activated, shutting down the left and center lanes for a previous crash, state police said.
A silver Chevrolet failed to slow down and slammed right into the front of the fire truck, state police said.
The Fire Department said three people were taken to the hospital in good condition. It was not immediately clear whether the injured included firefighters.
All lanes reopened at 4:29 a.m., state police said.
