3 Cars Crash After Man Fails To Stop For Slowed Traffic: Batavia Cops

BATAVIA, IL — Three cars crashed on Randall Road Friday morning after one driver didn't slow down in time for stopped traffic, according to police.

The crash happened at about 7:54 a.m. on South Randall Road near the intersection with Main Street after the male driver of a Cadillac ATS rear-ended a Mitsubishi Outlander. By attempting to avoid hitting the SUV, the Cadillac also rear-ended a Toyota Tacoma, Sergeant Michelle Langston told Patch.

Langston said the Mitsubishi was stopped in the outside lane, with the Toyota in the inside lane, when the Cadillac was driving northbound in the outside lane and hit both.

The woman driving the second car hit complained of head pain and was treated on the scene by paramedics but refused hospital transportation, according to Deputy Chief of Administration Michael Johnson.

The first two cars required towing from the scene, Johnson said. The driver of the at-fault car was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.
