Traffic Snarl On Eisenhower After Fatal Rollover Crash

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A woman was killed early Friday in a single-vehicle, rollover crash on the Eisenhower Expressway, prompting all outbound lanes to be closed, fire officials said.

The crash happened about 4:30 a.m. in the westbound lanes of I-290 near Laramie. According to Illinois State Police, the driver lost control of the vehicle.

The woman, thought to be in her 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene, said Fire Media Affairs Director Larry Langford.

Two men who were also in the car were taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, while three women were taken to Stroger Hospital, Langford said.

They were all listed in serious-to-critical condition.

As of about 6:30 a.m., all but one of the outbound lanes of the expressway remained closed to traffic.
