A Huntley firefighter sustained minor injuries after leaping out of the way of a semitrailer-truck Friday night while working a crash on the eastbound Jane Addams Tollway (I-90). The firefighter was transported to Northwestern Hospital in Huntley where he was treated and released.

Huntley Fire Protection District crews were assisting with a collision between a semitrailer truck and a van when a fire engine at the scene was hit by another semitrailer.

The second crash occurred at about 10 p.m. on I-90 just east of Route 47, in Kane County.

Illinois State Police are investigating and issued a citation for a Scott’s law violation to the driver who struck the fire engine.

The fire department had positioned the engine with its emergency lights flashing near the first crash to protect the area and had closed the right lane. The engine had moderate damage and was towed away for repairs.

The first crash occurred at about 9:40 p.m. when a van rear-ended a semitrailer truck. The van driver was taken to Advocate Sherman Hospital and listed in stable condition.

Neither truck driver was injured.

Crashes involving Illinois State Police squad cars are up this year, according to an ISP database. There have been 23 to date, 11 involving injuries, compared to 21 in 2023.
