The woman driving that vehicle required extrication by Elburn FPD in order to free her. There was decreased visibility conditions at the time of the crash due to fog. The pole that was snapped off brought down an AT&T fiber optic cable.

Crash with extrication in Long Grove, IL 9-2-16 (more)

Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:

A 21-year-old Crystal Lake man slammed into the back of an 18-wheeler at 1:25 a.m. Friday and is being treated for life-threatening injuries. The driver of the tractor/trailer was heading west on Lake Cook Road, and stopped at a red light at Hicks Road. When the light turned green, the trucker accelerated, but the Crystal Lake man’s 2013 Volkwagen Golf came up from behind and wedged itself under the trailer.

The Long Grove Fire Protection District led the rescue that followed. The car was wedged under the rear trailer of a semi-tractor/trailer unit all the way up to the start of the rear passenger-seat door. The rescue took more than an hour, involving three hydraulic tools, airbags, a tow truck, and two requests for helicopters. At 2:38 a.m., firefighters loaded the driver into an ambulance, and transported him to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge.

Sheriff’s deputies are investigating whether the driver had been using drugs or alcohol, or driving while distracted.

Driver killed in head-on crash in Long Grove 10-22-14

This from Larry Shapiro:

Firefighters were called to the scene of a head-on crash this afternoon on Old McHenry Road north of Cuba Road in Long Grove. First arriving companies reported one car vs a semi  with a fire and the car’s driver trapped. The driver was extricated in short order and transported to Condell Hospital … the fire, reported to have encroached into the passenger compartment was quickly contained.

The semi was parked on the shoulder (northbound on the southbound side of the road) as the driver was delivering building materials up a long driveway with a piggyback truck mounted forklift. He reported seeing smoke as he approached the street having never heard the impact of the crash. He attempted to fight the fire with an extinguisher as did a Lake County Sheriff’s deputy prior to the arrival of the fire department.

Here are some images from the scene.
