About 3:30 a.m., a car heading south on the Dan Ryan Expressway near 26th Street crashed in to another car that had spun out on the center lanes, Illinois State Police said.
One person was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, where they were pronounced dead at 4:06 a.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. No other information was being released about the person pending notification of their family.
Two others involved in the crash were in serious-to-critical condition and were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Stroger Hospital, Fire Media Affairs spokesman Larry Langford said.
