Excerpts from kcchronicle.com:
A major multi-vehicle collision with multiple serious injuries occurred on Saturday morning, June 20, 2020, on Dunham Road north of Army Trail Road in Wayne. Fire Chief John Nixon of the Fox River & Countryside Fire Rescue District described the scene as chaotic, with the accident stretching over 100 yards along the road.
"The first 911 call came in at 10:20 a.m.," Nixon said. "When we arrived, it was complete chaos. There were several victims, and we immediately began triaging the most severely injured."
The crash began when a black SUV traveling south on Dunham Road suddenly stopped, causing a red SUV to rear-end it. The black SUV had a woman and two children inside. The red SUV then bounced off the black vehicle and collided with a gravel truck, flipping into a ditch. Shortly after, a garbage truck struck the front of the black SUV, veered off the road, and crashed into a large tree, trapping its driver and passenger inside.
The red SUV had three occupants who suffered minor injuries and did not require extrication. However, the garbage truck’s front end offered little protection, and the two men inside were pinned when the dashboard collapsed. It took nearly 90 minutes to free them, and the entire operation lasted about three hours to secure the area. The last victim was transported out two hours after the initial crash.
The garbage truck driver sustained severe injuries to his lower body and was airlifted by helicopter to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove. His passenger was taken to a local hospital. The driver of the gravel truck also had minor injuries.
Multiple fire departments, including South Elgin & Countryside Fire Protection District, Carol Stream Fire Department, Elburn and Countryside Fire Protection District, Bartlett Fire Protection District, and St. Charles Fire Department, responded to the scene.
