Briefs: Stroger details still not set

Cook County Board President Todd Stroger might come out to Palatine on June 16 after all. A conflict with the Palatine Village Council meeting prompted Commissioner Gregg Goslin to ask for a new date, but the options Stroger's camp offered up don't work for the Palatine Chamber of Commerce, which is facilitating the meeting at Harper College. "Trying to get on the same page has been a nightmare and we have to get this thing done," Goslin said. Palatine officials would like to be in person to hear Stroger's explanation of a recent 1 percent sales tax hike, but say they're not associated with the event.

3 hurt in Roselle rollover

Paramedics took three people to hospitals Thursday afternoon after a three-vehicle crash that involved a rollover on Roselle Road just north of the Elgin-O'Hare Expressway. The injuries don't appear to be serious, Roselle Fire Department Acting Shift Commander Chester Kraus said. Crews were alerted shortly before 4 p.m. to the crash in the southbound lanes of Roselle Road, just north of the expressway. Kraus said they found a light SUV in the middle lane flipped over, with a van and another vehicle also involved. Two victims on the scene refused medical treatment, while a pair were taken to Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village, and another was driven to Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, Kraus said. It's unclear how the accident happened, but nothing appeared unusual, Kraus also said.
