Chicago, IL – Three Dead in Train vs. Vehicle Collision at Park Ave & 153rd St
Chicago, IL (November 20, 2024) – A tragic collision between a car and a freight train claimed the lives of three individuals on Wednesday afternoon in Harvey, a south suburb of Chicago, according to reports from the Illinois State Police (ISP) and local authorities.
The accident occurred at the Park Avenue crossing near 153rd Street, where a CSX freight train struck a silver vehicle. Investigators on the scene were seen documenting the heavily damaged car, with the impact reported to be so severe that identifying the make or model of the vehicle was nearly impossible.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the deaths of all three occupants of the vehicle. No serious injuries were reported among those aboard the train. At this time, additional details about the cause of the crash remain under investigation, and it is unclear whether citations will be issued.
Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to the families of the victims. We also extend our best wishes to any injured parties and their loved ones during this difficult time.
