A crash that appeared to involve a car hitting a utility pole closed northbound Randall Road just north of Silver Glen Road in South Elgin Tuesday afternoon.
According to early reports, a medical helicopter was flown in to assist the victim or victims, with reports of at least one person trapped in the smashed car. ComEd was called for a report of a smoking wire.
Traffic was being redirected from northbound Randall Road onto Silver Glen Road, and there were heavy backups along southbound Randall Road.
South Elgin police didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
