Five people were transported to the hospital after a two-vehicle crash sent one of the cars crashing into a building, causing structural damage, in Waukegan, police said.
The Waukegan Fire Department and Waukegan Police Department responded around 3:21 p.m. on November 24 to Ateco Automotive, 2103 Washington Street, for a report of a vehicle crash with injuries.
Waukegan Deputy Police Chief Craig Neal said officers arrived and found two vehicles involved with one car resting against the building.
The vehicles involved included a 2014 Nissan Versa, driven by Waukegan resident Shea Brownlee, and a 2004 Honda CR-V, driven by a 55-year-old North Chicago man.
Brownlee told officers she was driving southbound on Martin Avenue at Washington Street, Neal said.
She said she was attempting to continue southbound across Washington Street when her Nissan collided with the Honda.
The driver of the Honda said he was traveling westbound on Washington Street when his vehicle was struck by the southbound Nissan.
The driver of the Honda said his vehicle was pushed into the building at 2103 Washington Street as a result of the impact, Neal said.
Brownlee and her passenger, a male juvenile Waukegan resident, suffered minor injuries as a result of the crash.
Neal said both of them were transported by ambulance to Vista Medical Center East in Waukegan for treatment.
The driver of the Honda and his two passengers, a 55-year-old North Chicago woman and a 43-year-old Waukegan resident, suffered minor injuries.
All three of them were transported by ambulance to Vista Medical Center East for treatment, Neal said.
The building sustained structural damage and both vehicles sustained front-end damage.
