WOMAN SERIOUSLY INJURED ON I-80 NEAR JOLIET
This morning, a silver Lincoln Town Car heading eastbound on Interstate 80 slid on a patch of ice and struck a guardrail near Center Street in Joliet. As a female passenger was exiting the Lincoln, a Mercury Sable vehicle apparently slid on the same patch of ice and struck the female passenger and the Lincoln.
Illinois State Police reported that the passenger's injuries included a severed right leg, fractured right arm and left leg, a lacerated spleen and a punctured lung.
Winter driving is hazardous due to the road conditions. For this reason, drivers should be extremely vigilant on the road. Please drive carefully this winter.
