A man was taken to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital with minor injuries Wednesday morning after the car he was driving on the Jane Addams Tollway struck a construction vehicle near Elmhurst Road, according to Illinois State Police.

The crash happened about 5:21 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of the tollway near Des Plaines. It appears the driver's Mercury struck the construction vehicle as it was pulling into a construction area, police said.
