The semi-truck crashed into the back of a Nissan, which started a chain reaction collision involving a Lexus and a Chevrolet — the Nissan rear-ended the Lexus, and the Lexus rear-ended the Chevrolet.

The 47-year-old driver of the Nissan and two passengers in the Nissan, a 45-year-old woman and an 11-year-old boy, were transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, Illinois.
