1 dead, 3 left seriously hurt after crash on Kennedy Expy near West Loop

It happened late Wednesday morning, on the inbound lanes toward the Eisenhower Expressway

CHICAGO, IL – A two-vehicle wreck late Wednesday morning, April 3, near downtown Chicago has claimed one life and left three other people seriously injured, reports CBS News.

The accident happened on the inbound Kennedy Expressway, near the ramp to Eisenhower Expressway, in the city’s West Loop area. It was first reported some time after 11:00 a.m.

Officials are still working to determine the circumstances of the crash, but four people were rushed to area hospitals with critical injuries. One of those patients has since died.

The ramp, which connects to Adams Street, Ida B. Wells Drive, Taylor Street, and Roosevelt Road via the southbound Kennedy Expressway, was shut down by Illinois State Police to accommodate the emergency response and investigation. It was reopened to traffic at around 2:45 p.m.

No further information has been released at this time.
