Passenger Injured in Chicago Car Accident
A passenger was taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital after a car struck a building on North Sheffield Avenue just before 12:30 a.m. on November 5.
A 23-year-old woman was injured in a car crash on North Sheffield Avenue in the Wrigleyville area of Chicago on November 5, according to Chicago police.
The Car Crash on North Sheffield Avenue
Police said the car was going north on North Sheffield Avenue shortly before 12:30 a.m. when it hit a building in the 3400 block. Police said the driver, a 22-year-old Chicago man, disobeyed a stop sign and a traffic light before the collision. The woman, a passenger in the car, was hurt and taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital. Police said no other injuries were reported.
What Comes Next After the Wrigleyville Crash
Police said officers arrested the driver, who now faces charges of reckless driving and driving under the influence of alcohol. Police said he also received several citations. His court date is set for the end of November.
An arrest is not a conviction. The case moves through the courts, and the full process can take many months.
