CHICAGO — Two people were seriously hurt when the vehicle they were in rear-ended a fire truck on the scene of another crash this morning on the Bishop Ford Freeway on the Far South Side, authorities said.
The first wreck happened about 5:50 a.m. on the Bishop Ford Freeway near 130th Street and the Beaubian Woods, said an Illinois State Police District Chicago Trooper.
As paramedics got there and were treating two people who were in fair-to-serious condition and three people who had signed refusals to go to hospitals, a vehicle rear-ended a fire truck there for the first crash, said a Chicago Fire Department official.
The trooper said the second crash happened about 6 a.m. at the same location.
The fire official said one person in serious to critical condition was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County while the other person was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
Hospital information was not available for the victims of the first crash.
