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