1 Injured In 3-Car Crash On Route 59: Aurora Police

AURORA, IL — One person was injured in a three-car crash Monday afternoon on Route 59, spokesperson Joseph Howe told Patch.

The crash occurred around 12:15 p.m. on southbound Route 59 at 75th Street. Detectives determined a 2005 Ram was traveling west on 75th Street, approaching the intersection with Route 59, when it collided with a 2005 Honda van that was turning from Route 59 onto 75th Street, Howe said.

The force of the collision caused the van to crash into a 2007 Honda van that was driving south on Route 59. A person in the 2005 Honda sustained injuries.

The driver of the Ram was cited for not having a valid driver's license. No other citations were issued, according to Howe.

Route 59 was down to one lane due to the crash and a portion of westbound 75th Street was also closed, according to an alert published on Facebook. The roads were impacted for about an hour and reopened around 1:35 p.m.
