Six people were injured — some minorly and others left in critical condition — in a three-car crash in the North Center neighborhood early Sunday morning, Chicago police said.
The crash occurred in the 2300 block of West Addison Street at around 3:21 a.m., according to officers.
A 21-year-old man was driving east in a black Honda sedan at high speeds when he ran a red light and crashed into a white Toyota SUV, which was facing south on North Western Avenue. The SUV flipped and crashed into a light post on impact, police said, and the Honda sedan driver then crashed into a black Toyota sedan that was facing north on North Western Avenue.
The 21-year-old driver of the Honda sedan was transported to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in critical condition with head injuries, according to police. His two passengers, a 22-year-old man and an unidentified adult woman, were also left in critical condition. The woman was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital for head and internal body injuries, police said, and the man was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center for head and arm injuries.
The 57-year-old man driving the SUV that flipped was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in fair condition with head lacerations and bruising on his chest. His passenger, a 37-year-old man, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, also in fair condition with head lacerations, police said.
A 41-year-old woman was driving the Toyota sedan that was hit last. She was taken to Swedish Hospital for evaluation in good condition, according to officers.
