Elk Grove Village streets closed following two-car crash that leaves several people hospitalized – NBC Chicago

Streets in suburban Elk Grove Village were closed early Wednesday after a two-vehicle crash Tuesday evening left several people injured and resulted in debris strewn across the roadways.

According to the Elk Grove Village Police Department, officers were dispatched around 11:22 p.m. to the intersection of Biesterfield Road and Meacham Road for a two-vehicle crash with injuries.

All parties involved were transported to nearby hospitals for injuries, police said. No further details about the victims or their conditions were immediately available.

From 5 a.m., the scene remained active with investigators and yellow police tape. The intersection of Biesterfield and Meacham roads should remain closed “until further notice,” police said in a Facebook post.

“The intersection of Biesterfield Road and Meacham Road continues to be closed and may be closed throughout your early morning commute,” the message continues. “Please avoid the area and use alternative routes.”

Photos and videos from the scene Wednesday show two vehicles badly damaged, with airbags deployed and debris from car parts and objects inside the vehicles strewn across the street.

One of the vehicles appeared almost destroyed, with the front and driver’s side destroyed.

NBC 5’s Lisa Chavarria reported Wednesday morning that several teenagers came to the scene and indicated that those involved in the crash may have been friends of theirs.

“I came to the scene because I saw him on one of my friend’s Snapchat stories and I believe he was involved,” one said. “It’s really horrible to see cars like this, destroyed.”

Police have not confirmed the ages or number of victims involved in the crash.
