Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:

Illinois State Police said one person is dead and three people were injured in a multi-vehicle crash that involved three semi trucks and one passenger vehicle near O’Hare Airport on I-294. The crash happened in the southbound lanes at about 8:15 p.m. just south of Balmoral Avenue. All four lanes of traffic were closed due to the crash before reopening Tuesday morning.

Chicago MVA with Haz Mat Level 1, 3-26-17

Mar 27

Posted by Admin in Crash scene photos, Towing and Recovery, Towing and Recovery video | 7 Comments

This from Steve Redick:

Took in an unusual response yesterday on the outbound JFK Expressway at Kimball. A semi truck struck the retaining wall and went over the side on an elevated portion of the roadway. The cab detached from the frame (which remained dangling over the lower roadway) and fell to the street below. The driver was reported as being pinned with both portions of the wreckage on fire.

The driver had been removed and was enroute to the hospital when I arrived. Reportedly he was not pinned, but as you might imagine seriously injured. I observed some of the recovery operations utilizing the large IDOT wrecker as well as a bit of the Lin-Mar wrecker operations. A haz mat response was also utilized due to leaking fuel and fluids on both the upper and lower portions of the incident.
