Authorities say one person was left injured after a seven-vehicle pileup crash on Route 120 near Gurnee that left a truck on top of another vehicle, causing traffic delays.
The Gurnee Fire Department, Gurnee Police Department and Lake County Sheriff’s Office responded around 4:20 p.m. Tuesday to Route 120 near Interstate 94 on the border of Gurnee and Libertyville for a report of a multi-vehicle crash.
Gurnee Fire Department Lt. Nick Perry said crews arrived to find a seven-vehicle crash.
A pickup truck was on top of another pickup truck.
Perry said one person occupied each vehicle and three ambulances, including one from Grayslake, were called to the scene.
All of the occupants were able to get out of the vehicles on their own and were not trapped in the wreckage.
Perry said one vehicle sustained heavy damage while the other vehicles sustained minor to moderate damage.
An adult female was transported by ambulance to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville with minor injuries, Perry said.
The pileup occurred in the westbound lanes of Route 120 west of Interstate 94 near Hanlon Road.
Heavy traffic delays were reported and the road was shut down for approximately 30 minutes.
Tow trucks responded to the scene to remove four of the seven vehicles that were not driveable.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the crash. It is unknown if anyone was cited or charged.
