Fire district personnel removed the driver’s seat belt to remove her from the vehicle, and she was taken to St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates with nonlife-threatening injuries. Authorities said further injuries to the driver were prevented because she was wearing a seat belt.
The driver of the other vehicle was treated by paramedics on the scene and refused transport to the hospital.
