Vehicle overturns on 290 near Elk Grove

An erratic driver of another vehicle caused an SUV with five occupants to roll over on southbound 290 north of Biesterfield Road just before 9 a.m. Wednesday, according to authorities.

A female passenger of the SUV suffered a fractured femur while the male driver suffered minor injuries, largely from broken glass, Schaumburg Fire Department officials said.

Three children strapped into safety seats in the rear appeared to be unharmed but were also transported to the hospital for observation.

According to Illinois State Police, three vehicles were involved, with the driver who was deemed responsible cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and improper lane use.

During the cleanup and initial investigation, four of the five lanes of the road were closed for one hour.
