A busy intersection in suburban Des Plaines was back open Thursday morning after being closed for several hours due to what police originally described as an "incident."
According to a 6:14 a.m. Facebook Post, the Des Plaines police Department said it was "investigating an incident" in the area of Touhy Avenue and Mannheim Road.
"Due to this, the intersection is closed and all traffic is advised to seek an alternate route and please avoid the area," police said, adding that more updates would come soon.
The intersection is not far from The Allstate Arena, and Chicago's International O'Hare Airport.
A short time later, Des Plaines Police posted an update saying officers were called to the area for a "motor vehicle accident involving multiple vehicles."
"The incident has been resolved, and the roadway is now open," police said.
