2 Injured in Lincolnshire Truck Accident
Two drivers were taken to a hospital after a three-vehicle collision on Half Day Road in the early afternoon.
Two people were injured in a truck crash on Route 22 in Lincolnshire on Tuesday, according to Lincolnshire police.
How the Route 22 Truck Crash Unfolded
Police and firefighters from the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District were sent to Route 22, which is also called Half Day Road, near Millbrook Drive at about 2:13 p.m. Three heavily damaged vehicles were involved: a BMW, a Ford F-150 pickup truck and a Ford E-150 van. The deputy police chief said a preliminary investigation found the BMW was eastbound when it crossed into the westbound lanes and struck the pickup. The pickup left the road, rolled over and uprooted a utility pole, leaving live power lines across it. Firefighters extricated a driver while a ComEd crew cut power to the downed lines. Police said the BMW and pickup drivers were taken to a hospital, and the van driver reported no serious injuries.
Where the Lincolnshire Police Inquiry Stands
Police have not announced any citations or charges, and the Lincolnshire Police Department is still investigating. All three vehicles were towed from the scene. Police said ComEd crews came out to fix the pole and worked to bring power back to the affected areas. Crews also asked that Lincolnshire Public Works be contacted about a fire hydrant that was sheared off at the site.
When police say a crash is still under investigation, it usually means they are still collecting evidence and have not reached any conclusions.
