Small Fire Starts After Collision Between Landscaping Truck, SUV: Aurora Police

AURORA, IL — A small fire started after a landscaping truck and an SUV crashed at the intersection of North Eola Road and Haverhill Drive, Aurora police said.

The Aurora police and fire departments learned of the crash at about 12:46 p.m. Early indications suggest the truck, which was carrying brush and logs, may have disobeyed a traffic signal, contributing to the collision, spokesperson Jim Levicki told Patch.

Following the impact, a spark ignited some of the brush in the truck bed. Firefighters quickly extinguished it.

All passengers exited their vehicles safely, Levicki said, and no injuries were reported. The roadway was partially restricted for some time, with one northbound lane reopening before the scene was fully cleared.

Police continue investigating the crash. Any citations are pending the outcome of the investigation, Levicki said.
