Multiple fatalities at Glenview crash 10-15-13
Glenview Police and Fire Departments were called to the scene early this afternoon after a serious collision occurred at the intersection of Harlem Avenue and Harrison Street. A garbage truck from the Village of Skokie was involved in an accident with an SUV. According to reports, the SUV reportedly crossed into the path of the fully loaded garbage truck. The truck, equipped with a large plow on the front, pushed the vehicle along the parkway, causing it to roll over and land upside down. The truck then came to rest on top of the SUV, and a fire broke out involving both the truck’s cab and the car.
Three people were trapped inside the SUV and tragically lost their lives. The truck driver managed to escape on his own and was not injured. Glenview Engine 6 arrived quickly and used its deck gun to spray water on the fire, followed by a hand line to fully extinguish the flames and apply foam for additional safety. An area resident attempted to help using a fire extinguisher but was forced back due to the intense heat.
Tray Cashman, a nearby resident, captured video footage of Engine 6 responding to the emergency. The incident has left the community shocked and concerned. Local firefighters worked diligently to contain the blaze and ensure the safety of the surrounding area. Several photos from the scene, taken by Larry Shapiro, show the wreckage and the fire engine in action. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, and authorities are urging drivers to remain cautious, especially at busy intersections.
