Fatal crash in Prospect Heights, 8-27-22

From the Prospect Heights Fire District: At around 0549, Prospect Heights Squad 9 was initially dispatched to a car fire reported at Motel 6, located at 540 Milwaukee Avenue. However, en route, the call was escalated to an accident involving entrapment. Additional resources were immediately mobilized, including Battalion 9, Ambulance 9, Chief 900, Wheeling's Ambulance 23, Ambulance 24, Engine 23, Tower 24, and Mount Prospect Truck 14. As more reports came in, it became clear that the vehicle had crashed into the levee wall and ended up in the Des Plaines River. There were also urgent reports indicating victims in the river, potentially children. In response, a swift water rescue unit was deployed, bringing in Wheeling Battalion 24, Dive Squad 24, Dive 63 and Squad 63 from Des Plaines, and a boat from Lincolnshire-Riverwoods. The collision occurred just south of the Motel 6, near the intersection of Milwaukee Avenue and River Road. Upon arrival, emergency personnel discovered an SUV that had broken through the guardrail and fallen over the concrete levee wall into the Des Plaines River. One occupant had been ejected, while others remained inside the vehicle. First responders quickly climbed down the levee wall using ladders and extinguished the fire before initiating a shore-based search operation. Unfortunately, the ejected victim was pronounced dead on arrival. Despite thorough searches of the river, no additional victims were found. The Des Plaines River levee, which runs along the eastern side of Milwaukee Avenue from Palatine Road to just north of Euclid/Lake Avenue, is approximately 12 inches thick. It extends several feet below ground level to prevent erosion, rising anywhere from a few feet to over ten feet above grade. At the site of the incident, the levee was about five to six feet high. Evidence suggests that the impact might have shifted the top of the levee wall by as much as two inches closer to the river.
