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.
