Three people standing outside the scene of a three-vehicle crash early Wednesday on Interstate 57 were struck and killed by a fourth vehicle that hit them as it sped by, leaving five others injured.
All of the expressway’s northbound lanes were closed for nearly eight hours.
Just after midnight, state troopers responded to the scene of the three-vehicle crash just south of 120th Street in West Pullman, when the fourth vehicle hit three people outside one of the vehicles involved in the initial crash, according to Illinois State Police.
The three were dead at the scene, according to the police, who said five others were taken to hospitals with injuries that were not life-threatening.
The vehicle that hit the deceased victims remained on the scene. There was no word on citations or charges.
All northbound lanes of I-57 reopened around 7:50 a.m.
