This morning (February 2nd, 2018), just before noon, Wheeling firefighters and local police responded to an accident involving a rollover and possible entrapment near the intersection of Lake-Cook Road and Hastings Lane. When they arrived, all individuals involved had already exited their vehicles, so there was no need for extrication efforts. Two people were taken to a nearby hospital, while another individual escaped injury.
The scene was chaotic, with emergency vehicles including a Rosenbauer Commander fire engine and a Wheeling Fire Department ambulance quickly arriving on-site. Firefighters worked diligently to ensure safety, setting up barriers and managing the flow of traffic. A tow truck operator eventually flipped the overturned Jeep back onto its wheels, allowing for further assessment and eventual removal from the scene.
One of the most striking images from the incident shows a Wheeling Fire Department engine parked strategically to provide support. Meanwhile, a police SUV can be seen in the background, helping to block off lanes of traffic as part of the ongoing safety measures. It’s clear that the quick response of emergency personnel played a crucial role in keeping everyone safe during this event.
Photographer Larry Shapiro captured several powerful images of the aftermath, including the dramatic view of the Jeep lying on its side and the coordinated efforts of responders working together. These photos highlight not only the severity of the accident but also the professionalism and teamwork displayed by those who rushed to help. While the exact cause of the rollover remains unclear, it serves as a reminder of how rapidly situations can change on our roads and the importance of having skilled professionals ready to act when needed.
In total, three people were involved, and thankfully, despite the vehicle damage, injuries were limited. The community owes a debt of gratitude to the firefighters, paramedics, and officers who were present to manage such a delicate situation. Their swift action undoubtedly prevented what could have been a much more serious outcome.
