Motorist injured in accident with semi truck
The driver of a car was in critical condition Sunday after running into a semi and becoming pinned underneath the truck. The accident happened at 73rd St and South Cicero Avenue on the Southwest side Sunday at around 3:25 am.
According to Fire Media Affairs Director Larry Langford, a Nissan was heading southbound on Cicero at a high rate of speed. The semi, a frame type truck, was turning onto Cicero. The car ran into the semi and became pinned.
Bedford Park and Chicago fire crews were dispatched to the accident scene. The driver of the car was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn by a Chicago Fire Department ambulance.
Langford said it was a wonder that the driver was alive at all judging by the wreckage of the car.
