One person was killed and three others injured this morning in a three-car crash on the Dan Ryan Expressway, according to Illinois State Police.
The crash happened at about 9:30 a.m. near 89th Street on the southbound side of the Ryan, and as of about 9:50 a.m. traffic was moving only via the right lane, said Trooper Antony Burgos.
One person was confirmed dead, Burgos said.
Reginald Fox, 45, of the 2600 block of East 76th St., was pronounced dead at Roseland Hospital at 10 a.m., according to theCook County medical examiner's office.
Two others were taken in critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and another person in critical condition was taken to Stroger Hospital, said Will Knight, a spokesman for the Chicago Fire Department.
Fox was driving a 2001 BMW X5 when he was making a lane change at the same time that one of the two other cars was making a lane change into the same lane. The two vehicles collided and one of them struck the third vehicle.
Fox's car crossed all the lanes and then struck a concrete barrier before flipping over, police said.
The investigation is continuing.
