Afternoon Collision with Traffic Light Sends 1 to the Hospital

The return of accumulating snow Saturday caused a fair share of accidents, including one in Sturtevant that sent one person to the hospital.

At approximately 3:15 p.m., a car traveling south on 90th Street was turning left onto Durand Avenue when it was struck by a pick-up truck going north through the intersection.

The force of the collision sent the car into a traffic light, knocking it on top of the car.

A female passenger of the car was transported by South Shore Fire personnel to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Traffic on 90th Street was shut down in both directions between Corliss and Durand Avenues for about an hour. Officials re-opened the road by 4:30 p.m.
