Two people were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries and one person was later airlifted after a crash on Interstate 90 at the Route 47 interchange early Thursday.

The Huntley Fire Protection was called to the scene at around 4:30 a.m. Thursday, Huntley Fire Protection District spokesperson Alex Vucha said.

Vucha said firefighters located the crash in the westbound lanes just west of Route 47, near the end of the entrance ramp.

The Illinois State Police said it responded to the westbound lanes of Interstate 90 at milepost 46.25 at the interchange about 4:25 a.m. Thursday.

Illinois State Police said it was a two-vehicle crash involving a tractor-trailer and a passenger vehicle.

Vucha said the passenger sedan “sustained heavy damage as a result of the collision.”

Vucha added firefighters determined extrication was required to remove the people inside the sedan.

Both people inside the sedan had critical, life-threatening injuries and were taken to Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital. Crews requested a medical helicopter and one of the occupants of the sedan was later airlifted from the hospital helipad to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, Vucha said.

The semi truck driver did not report any injuries on the scene, an Illinois State Police spokesperson said.

The right lane was closed for the crash investigation and remained closed until about 11:15 a.m.

The crash remains under investigation by Illinois State Police, Vucha said.
