The driver of a two-door Volkswagen was hospitalized Tuesday night after smashing into a tree in Arlington Heights and rolling the vehicle into the middle of a park, police said.

Officials said the man remained at Northwest Community Hospital Tuesday night after hitting a tree on the 300 block of South Windsor Drive and rolling over at about 5:40 p.m.
