A mother and her seven children were injured early Sunday in a rollover crash on Interstate 90 in Hoffman Estates.

About 12:25 a.m., the mother was driving on Interstate 90 near Higgins Road when her 2003 GMC Yukon rolled over on the road and landed in a ditch, Illinois state police said.

All seven children were taken to area hospitals, officials said, adding that four had injuries considered serious to life-threatening.

The mother was also hospitalized and was listed in serious condition, state police said.

Lanes on I-90 were closed for investigation about 12:30 a.m. and reopened several hours later.

No further information was immediately available.

Chicago Cubs' broadcaster Harry Caray sings "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch at Chicago's Wrigley Field in 1989.

In 1930, a 15-year-old Harry Caray was living in St. Louis when the city hosted an aircraft exhibition honoring aviator Charles Lindbergh. “The ‘first ever’ cow to fly in an airplane was introduced at the exhibition,” said Grant DePorter, Harry Caray restaurants manager. “She became the most famous cow in the world at the time and is still listed among the most famous bovines along with Mrs. O’Leary’s cow and ‘Elsie the cow.’”
