A three-car accident at the intersection of La Grange Rd and Cossitt Ave shortly after 8 p.m. tonight brought shut down traffic on both thoroughfares for more than half an hour.
La Grange police were unable to provide a formal report at post time, but one officer who responded to the scene said one of the three vehicles involved apparently failed to stop for a red light on Cossitt Ave, collided with a second vehicle and careened into a third.
No one was injured, the officer said, including a woman driving a Lexus SUV, which rolled onto its side in the middle of the intersection. The woman was able to exit the vehicle on her own through the rear hatch door, he said.
There are never enough or not enough cops out at night. Obnoxious kids (too much Starbucks), people driving too fast...how bout an old school traffic cop or two? Liz? Are you listening?

Maybe she'd listen if you could spell "citizen".
Nice to try and blame an elected official for an accident where someone violated a traffic law and ran a red light. Interestingly, you didn't blame Horvath or Palermo. Apparently only one elected official is your focus.

The picture looks so scary. I'm glad no one was injured.

If you ever want to be sure you don’t snack while watching television, tune into a show like Hoarders on A&E or one of the several other shows about compulsive hoarders and the unbelievable messes they live with. The team that comes to clean their homes will invariably discover some really gross stuff—particularly if the resident has pets—that aren’t conducive to eating while watching.
At the same time, the people profiled are typically in immense emotional pain, which can be hard to watch. I know people who hoard and have seen up close how difficult it can be for them to try and go through their stuff. I also know the frustration of spending hours helping sdfthem clean up only to see the piles return within days or weeks.

These kinds of accidents can cause heavy traffic, that's why everybody should be extra careful while driving. It's also important to check the car's condition before hitting the road! Anyway, the woman seemed to have an adrenalin rush back then! I imagine the scene was probably like those in movies.
