Long Grove firefighters were joined by crews from Buffalo Grove, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, and Palatine on Friday morning, September 2nd, 2016, at the scene of a serious collision at the intersection of Lake-Cook Road and IL Route 53. The incident occurred around 1:30 AM when a car driver became trapped after crashing into and becoming wedged beneath the rear of a tractor-trailer.
Emergency responders worked quickly to free the victim using three sets of hydraulic tools, a process that took nearly an hour. A helicopter was initially requested as part of the response, but it was later canceled once the injured individual was safely transported to Lutheran General Hospital by Palatine Ambulance 82.
The scene showed the severity of the crash, with the car completely jammed under the trailer. Firefighters used cribbing and air bags to lift the heavy vehicle, allowing for a safer extraction. Several photos captured the aftermath, showing the damage and the teamwork involved in the rescue operation.
More details are expected as the investigation continues.
