A driver has been cited after crashing into a tree and rolling their SUV over, causing them and two passengers to be hospitalized and a tree to fall in front of a Round Lake Beach home Thursday morning.
The Greater Round Lake Fire Protection District and Round Lake Beach Police Department responded around 10:45 a.m. Thursday to the area of Peachtree Lane and Lancaster Lane in Round Lake Beach for a vehicle crash.
Crews arrived to find a small SUV that had crashed into a tree and rolled over onto its side, Greater Round Lake Fire Protection District Lt. Eric Beck said.
The SUV was occupied by three people, who were all out of the vehicle prior to the arrival of rescue crews.
Beck said the injuries were minor and all three occupants were transported to the hospital as a precautionary measure.
An ambulance from the Lake Villa Fire Protection District responded to the scene to assist the Greater Round Lake Fire Protection District.
The crash caused the tree to fall in front of a home in the 2400 block of Lancaster Lane, but it did not hit the house.
Police officials said the driver was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.
The crash remains under investigation by the Round Lake Beach Police Department.
