4 Injured In 3-Car Crash Near Route 30, Wolf Road: Oswego PD

OSWEGO, IL — Four people were hospitalized after three cars crashed near Route 30 and Wolf Road Wednesday afternoon, according to Oswego police.

After officers responded to the crash around 2:20 p.m., they determined one car, driven by a 48-year-old man from Hinckley, was driving northwest on Route 30, near Wolf Road, when it crossed the center line and hit the front end of a second car, driven by a 57-year-old woman from Plainfield.

The collision forced the second car to hit another car, driven by a 32-year-old man from Aurora, that was attempting to avoid the scene. The impact knocked the third car over onto the passenger side, Oswego Police Department spokesperson Cathy Nevara told Patch.

The three drivers, as well as the third car's 65-year-old passenger, of Aurora, were transported to Rush Copley Medical Center to be treated for "moderate to serious" but non-life-threatening injuries, Nevara said.

All three vehicles were towed from the scene. Route 30 between Wolf Road and Treasure Road was closed for about two and a half hours while police investigated.
