Buffalo Grove police and firefighter/paramedics responded about 4:04 AM Sunday to a report of a crash in the block of 900 West Thompson Boulevard Buffalo Grove, IL. Police and firefighter/paramedics received a report that a resident heard a car speeding and then heard a crash. Police responded and found a vehicle with heavy damage on the north side of Thompson Boulevard, just west of Kingsbridge Way. The car — possibly a Buick Park Avenue — was apparently eastbound on Thompson Boulevard and left the roadway, hit a mail box, glanced off a parkway tree, and hit a second tree.
Police and firefighter/paramedics searched the area extensively with assistance from an Arlington Heights Police Department K-9 unit.
In daylight about 5:30 a.m., the male driver was found in a park near Kingsbridge Way about a block or two north of the crash scene. He was transported in custody to Buffalo Grove Police Department Headquarters. At the police station, paramedics were called to check on the driver.
No word on charges in the crash, which possibly include DUI and leaving the scene of an accident.
