Three people were transported to the hospital after police say a minivan pulled out in front of a semi-truck, causing a crash that left heavy damage in Lake Zurich.
The Lake Zurich Fire Rescue Department and Lake Zurich Police Department responded around 6:40 p.m. Monday to Ensell Road and Telser Road in Lake Zurich for a vehicle crash with injuries.
Members of the Long Grove Fire Protection District and Countryside Fire Protection District happened to be in the area and arrived before Lake Zurich.
Emergency crews reported finding a two-vehicle crash with heavy damage.
Lake Zurich Deputy Police Chief Colin Gaffney said the crash involved a 2019 Volvo semi-truck and a 2012 Honda minivan.
An investigation determined that the Honda, driven by a 38-year-old Lake Zurich woman, was stopped westbound on Ensell Road at the stop sign at Telser Road.
The Volvo, driven by a 43-year-old Schaumburg man, was traveling northbound on Telser Road approaching Ensell Road, Gaffney said.
The Honda pulled out in front of the Volvo, resulting in the semi-truck colliding into the driver’s side of the minivan.
Traffic on Telser Road does not have a stop sign at the intersection but traffic on Ensell Road does have a stop sign in both directions, Gaffney said.
The driver of the Honda, as well as two passengers, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to a local hospital.
The driver of the Volvo was uninjured and declined transport to the hospital.
Officers cited the driver of the Honda for failing to yield at an intersection and operating an uninsured motor vehicle, Gaffney said.
Police temporarily shut down the intersection until a tow truck responded and towed the minivan.
The semi-truck was not seriously damaged and remained drivable.
