This from Larry Shapiro:

Prospect Heights had a three ambulance response to an MVA on Schoenbeck Road at Willow Road just before 6PM. They found a Nissan SUV on it’s side with two unbelted occupants precariously positioned inside. They removed the windshield and the rear tailgate to facilitate removal of the victims. Two were transported and the third ambulance was returned.

I arrived a bit late, just as they had finished removing the 2nd patient. Here are some shots of the scene and there are more on my site HERE.
