Police, firefighters, and paramedics from Schaumburg responded about 8:24 p.m. Friday, January 31, 2025 to a report of a crash with injuries at Roselle Road and State Parkway in Schaumburg after a police officer apparently discovered the crash. The police officer first on the scene requested that paramedics expedite to the scene for a male victim with life-threatening injuries.
The first fire crew on arrival reported a car wrapped around a pole with serious damage, and a second vehicle involved as well. Police and firefighters discovered a black Dodge Charger wrapped around a pole at the northeast corner of the intersection. The other vehicle involved in the crash was located in the middle of the intersection.
A male patient was trapped in the Dodge Charger that was wrapped around a traffic signal standard (metal pole), and essentially split in half. The driver was inside the Dodge Charger with life-threatening injuries for about 35 minutes while firefighters were operating on a difficult extrication.
The driver of the other vehicle told paramedics she was “OK”.
The driver of the Dodge Charger was extricated by 9:04 p.m., and transported with life-threatening injuries to Level 1 Trauma Center Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge.
The Village of Schaumburg posted a road closure alert for the area near the crash at 8:38 p.m. Friday, but never posted an updated notification when the intersection was cleared.

AWARENESS MATTERS #awarenessmatters
Arlingtoncardinal.com/awarenessmatters
Awareness matters in the Village of Schaumburg just like any other municipality. Most quality municipalities or county jurisdictions provide some details about serious crashes of this nature in a timely manner. As of 9:00 a.m. Saturday, February 1, 2025 (more than 12 hours after this serious crash), the Village of Schaumburg and the Schaumburg Police Department under the leadership of Police Chief Bill Wolf provided no information about this serious crash. The incident caused considerable concern for citizens of Schaumburg or visitors in Schaumburg.
Two sources that wish to remain unnamed have informed CARDINAL NEWS that Police Chief Bill Wolf is an advocate of encrypting FIRE EMS RESCUE communications in the Northwest Central Dispatch System 9-1-1 center, which would prevent news media, security personnel, and everyday citizens from being aware of incidents in the Village of Schaumburg. This would further give the Village of Schaumburg the ability to hide details of serious incidents, violent crimes, and other public safety incidents that involve injuries, fires, and other hazards. This is counter to Open Government, and can lead to corruption of awareness of the quality of life in Schaumburg. For more information, see Arlingtoncardinal.com/awarenessmatters …
