Three people were taken to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital and two others were taken to Lake Forest Hospital. Two people were taken in serious-to-critical condition and three others in good condition, according to fire officials. All of their conditions had stabilized as of Monday afternoon.
The driver of the Chevrolet, a 37-year-old Milwaukee man, was cited for no child restraints, driving on a revoked license and failing to wearing a seatbelt, police said.
Traffic near the accident site was being directed off the highway onto Illinois Route 22 so that officials can investigate the crash, Illinois State Police said.
