All lanes of Jane Addams reopened after crash

All lanes of the inbound Jane Addams Tollway have been reopened for the Friday afternoon rush following a crash just east of the Des Plaines Oasis that backed up traffic for miles.

The accident, which occurred about 2:30 p.m., involved at least two cars and appeared to have been a chain-reaction crash. Traffic had been getting by in the far right lane as state police investigated and interviewed drivers.

Only minor injuries were reported, according to the Des Plaines Fire Department.

About 3:30 p.m., traffic was backed up past Arlington Heights Road. Lanes were reopened about an hour later.
