Excerpts from nbcchicago.com:
According to the Illinois State Police, troopers responded to a hit-and-run crash in the westbound lanes near California Avenue at approximately 4:54 a.m. Sunday. While on scene approximately 45 minutes after the crash, an Infiniti sedan slammed into an ISP squad car and a Chicago fire truck. Just moments after that collision, another sedan struck a tow truck that had responded to the scene.
In all, six individuals, including a Chicago firefighter, were taken to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the crashes.
The collisions left all westbound lanes of the highway closed for just over an hour for clean-up and investigation.
The driver of the Infiniti, identified as Eddie J. Johnson-Carter, 29, of Chicago, was cited for driving under the influence, failure to yield to a stationery emergency vehicle, and other traffic violations.
