Eight injured in Roselle accident

At least seven cars were invovled in an accident on Lake Street in Roselle that took eight people to the hospital.

The multiple car accident took place around 8 p.m. on the eastbound lanes of Lake Street, near Rosedale Avenue.

Ambulances from the Roselle, Bloomingdale, Addison and Itasca fire departments all assisted. Most of the transports were precautionary, fire officials said.
