AURORA, Ill. (CBS) --  Aurora police closed the entrances to the Chicago Premium Outlets after the mall reached its capacity limit during Black Friday. 

Police said the entrances were closed early Friday afternoon, and traffic was being redirected until further notice. Around 2:30 p.m., police said entrances were being intermittently reopened as shoppers leave the mall.

Visitors should expect extreme delays getting into the lots and parking at the mall.

Around noon, there were multiple reports at the mall, including a disturbance in the parking lot, and a traffic crash on North Farnsworth Avenue at Corporate boulevard. No one was injured in the crash.

Aurora police also say paramedics were responding to the mall for reports of a medical emergency.  

The mall opened at 6 a.m. for Black Friday shopping.
