Multiple Vehicle Crash At Busse & Algonquin; Lanes Closed


Mount Prospect police received a 9-1-1 call at 2:08 p.m. to respond to a multiple vehicle crash on the northbound lanes of Busse Road, just north of Algonquin.

Northbound Busse from Algonquin to Dempster has been shut down for the investigation and clean-up, according to Crime Prevention Officer Greg Sill. As of 3:30 p.m., there were no estimates as to when the lanes would reopen.

Sill could not confirm the exact number of vehicles involved in the crash, but could confirm that there were multiple; one car landed on its side and another struck a light pole. The Journal received reports that five vehicles may have been involved.

Mount Prospect Fire Department officials were not immediately available for comment as they were still on the scene; however, Sill said that at least one person was transported to Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge. Their injuries are unknown at this time.

Updates to come.
