The crash occurred at 12:07 p.m. at Arlington Heights and Higgins roads, and streets were reopened within an hour, Batallion Chief Mark Percudani said.
Firefighters removed the driver-side door of a vehicle to extricate one person, Percudani said. Two people were taken to Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove, and one was transported to Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights.
