Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:
A 32-year-old Chicago man died Saturday morning when the SUV he was riding in crashed into a Markham firetruck on Interstate 57. Police said the firetruck was parked on the interstate near Kedzie Avenue and was partially blocking the left southbound lane when the SUV rear-ended the truck about 3 a.m.
Both the driver and the passenger in the SUV were transported to a hospital in critical condition, and the passenger eventually died. The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified the passenger as Andrew Lee, 32, of the 1000 block of East 132nd St., Chicago.
A Markham firefighter also sustained minor injuries from the crash.

A single car accident occurred at 167th and Kedzie, in Markham on Friday after a driver swerved to avoid another car before ending up in a ditch colliding with a utility pole. The driver was extricated and transferred to a medivac for the trip to an area hospital.
Somehow Tim Olk was at that scene in time to see the helicopter land to pickup the patient.
