2 hurt in crash on Elmhurst Road in Des Plaines

A car headed north on Elmhurst Road in Des Plaines crashed into a minivan Sunday night, forcing the van to roll over, authorities said.

The minivan's driver and passenger were taken to Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights and treated for minor injuries, said Art Zern, a battalion chief with the Des Plaines Fire Department.

The driver of the car was uninjured, Zern said.

Authorities said the minivan was pulling out of the Jewel-Osco store's parking lot at 7:23 p.m. when the car struck the driver's side of the van on Elmhurst Road, just south of West Dempster Street, Zern said.

Officials closed Elmhurst Road for 20 minutes. They did not know Sunday night how many times the van rolled over or who was at fault in the accident, which remains under investigation.

Fire personnel from Mount Prospect also assisted with the accident.
