Three people were injured in a head-on crash on the Illinois 7 high-level bridge Friday evening, authorities said.
All three had to be extricated from the cars, said Battalion Chief John Kure of the Lockport Township Fire Protection District.
The fire district responded at 6:26 p.m. to the crash, which involved a woman, about 60 years old, in one car, and a man and a woman, both 19 years old, in the other, Kure said. All three victims were taken to area hospitals, he said.
Lockport received assistance from a Homer Fire Protection District ambulance. Also, Lockport and Romeoville police assisted in the response.
For a time, traffic access to the bridge was blocked to drivers on Illinois 53 to the west and State Street to the east, Kure said.
