Rollover crash on Rand Road east of Arlington Heights Road at the Northpoint shopping center driveway in Arlington Heights on Wednesday afternoon, January 29, 2025. YouTube Tips ⓘ
Police, firefighters and paramedics from Arlington Heights responded about 3:39 p.m. Wednesday, January 29, 2025 to a report of a rollover crash with injuries at Arlington Heights Road and Rand Road in Arlington Heights.
The first fire crew on arrival reported a vehicle on its side. Two crash victims were inside a Volkswagen sedan that came to rest on the driver’s side of the vehicle. A second ambulance was assigned to the scene by 3:45 p.m.
The two occupants were extricated from the Volkswagen by 3:51 pm.
Injuries appeared to be non-life-threatening.
The crash involved a gray Volkswagen sedan, a small blue SUV, and possibly a white Audi station wagon with minor damage. There was no confirmation about the cause of the crash from Arlington Heights officials, but the crash appeared to involve a left-turn by the driver of an eastbound blue SUV into the Northpoint shopping center driveway that failed to yield to oncoming traffic. Likely, the driver of the gray Volkswagen was westbound on US-12, and attempted to avoid the crash; but the impact caused the Volkswagen to roll on the driver’s side of the vehicle. The white Audi may have sustained minor impact and minor damage. Neither of the occupants of the blue SUV or the white Audi were transported to the hospital.
US-12 WEST was blocked between Palatine Road and Arlington Heights Road for almost one hour until all vehicles were towed from the scene.
Even though US-12 WEST was blocked by two police vehicles near Palatine Road, and blocked by another two police vehicles further west on US-12 closer to the scene, a female adult driver in a white Toyota RAV4 attempted to pass through the crash scene going westbound in the eastbound lanes of US-12 (Rand Road) while eastbound lanes were open to eastbound traffic. Police stopped her near the Bank of America, and were able to successfully get her to turn around to leave the area eastbound on US-12 EAST.
