Pre-Dawn Crash in Cicero Injures Two Officers and Closes Major Intersection

A regional crash team is handling the probe, signaling a lengthy closure for evidence work.

Overview

  • The multi-vehicle collision at Roosevelt Road and Cicero Avenue occurred around 4:49 a.m. Monday and sent two Cicero officers to Mount Sinai Hospital.
  • Police shut the intersection in all directions as investigators documented the scene and the West Suburban Major Crash Unit arrived by about 6:30 a.m.
  • A Cicero police squad car was involved in the crash and local outlets reported a truck may also have been part of the wreck.
  • Officials have not said how the crash happened or released the officers’ conditions, and Cicero authorities said other injuries were also reported without details.
  • The West Suburban Major Crash Unit conducts detailed reconstructions that often keep busy roads closed for hours, so drivers near the city line should expect detours during the morning commute.
