Zavala-Hernandez was driving the Toyota Sienna minivan southbound on Arlington Heights Road when the minivan left the roadway and traveled up the parkway and hit a tree.

The Chrysler sedan was driven by a male adult. Initially, there were no injuries reported in the crash.
The right rear of the minivan was severely damage by the impact with the tree. As the minivan came to rest after bouncing back into traffic, the Chrysler sedan impacted the right front wheel and fender of the minivan.
After the police report, the driver of the Chrysler was able to drive away in his vehicle.
