A driver who caused a chain reaction of crashes after he rear ended a vehicle Thursday morning in Elgin was ticketed for failing to reduce speed, officials said.
Seven vehicles were involved in the crash at about 6:40 a.m. on northbound Randall Road at Route 72 (Higgins Road), Elgin police spokeswoman Kristie Hilton said.
