Two hurt in five-car accident in Naperville

Two people were injured in a five-car crash Tuesday afternoon in downtown Naperville.

A 30-year-old woman from Petersburg was driving north on Washington Street just north of Jefferson Avenue about 12:15 p.m. when she apparently took her eyes off the road to reach for a water bottle, Cmdr. Mike Anders said. She struck the vehicle in front of her causing a chain reaction.

The woman was taken to Edward Hospital where she was treated and released.

One other person involved in the accident sustained minor injuries.

The female driver was cited for failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident. Her 2007 Chevrolet Impala was towed from the scene.
