Accident on outbound I-290 near Forest Park causes major delays

Traffic was backed up to the Jane Byrne Interchange

Chicago Car Accident Lawyer

COOK COUNTY, IL – Authorities responded to a vehicle wreck early Thursday evening on Interstate 290 approaching Forest Park, according to TTWN Chicago.

The collision unfolded on the outbound lanes of I-290 (Eisenhower Expressway) at Harlem Avenue (Exit 21B). It was first reported at 5:50 p.m., when the left lane had already been closed and a traffic backup had stretched down to the Jane Byrne Interchange.

As of this writing, local agencies have not indicated the cause or nature of the accident, the number of vehicles involved, or any details about the occupants.

No injuries have been confirmed at this time, and it’s unclear whether anyone is expected to be charged.
