A motorist was badly hurt early Wednesday when her vehicle crashed on the Tri-State Tollway in the Green Oaks area, authorities said.
The accident occurred about 12:30 a.m. on I-94 near Rockland Road, Illinois State Police said.
The 23-year-old driver, a Lake Forest woman whose identity was not released by police, was headed south in a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder when the vehicle rolled over, Sgt. Mark Brzeczek said.
