Five people were injured, two of them seriously, in a crash Wednesday afternoon on the Stevenson Expressway.
Three vehicles crashed in the outbound lanes about 2:20 p.m. near Damen Avenue, according to Illinois State Police spokeswoman Jayme Bufford.
Three people were taken by ambulance in fair-to-serious condition, and one person in serious-to-critical condition, to Stroger Hospital, according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford. Another person was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in serious-to-critical condition, he said.
All outbound lanes were closed until about 3:10 p.m., Bufford said. The circumstances of the crash were not immediately released.
