Streamwood woman stable after crash splits car in two

A 47-year-old Streamwood woman was injured early Wednesday morning when her car veered off Golf Road near Hoffman Estates, drove into a ditch and then hit a tree, throwing her from the vehicle and leaving it split in two, authorities said.

The woman was taken by the Hoffman Estates Fire Department to Saint Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates for treatment after the crash. She was stable and responsive, Cook County Sheriff's police said.

The crash occurred about 5:55 a.m. on Golf east of Rohrssen Road, authorities said. Golf was closed between Rohrssen and Route 59 while the sheriff's deputies investigated the crash and cleared the scene of the wrecked 2004 Acura sedan, but has since been reopened.
