State Police: 1 Killed, 2 Injured In Bishop Ford Crash

CHICAGO (STMW) -- One person was killed and two others were injured in a crash early Sunday on the Bishop Ford Expressway on the Far South Side, state police said.

The two-vehicle crash happened about 3:32 a.m. in the southbound lanes of the expressway (I-94) near 111th Street, Illinois State Police Master Jeanette Sergeant Beck said.

One person was dead on the scene, Beck said. Two others were taken to Roseland Community Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's office could not immediately confirm the fatality.
