A 29-year-old driver of a Mazda and two passengers, including an infant, were injured after a box truck collided with their vehicle near Interstate 55, police said.
At 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, officers responded to the crash at Plainfield Road and I-55 in Joliet, according to Joliet Police Sgt. Dwayne English.
An international box truck driven by Brandon Maldonado, 32, of Cicero, was traveling west on Plainfield Road near the southbound on-ramp for I-55, English said.
Officers believe the truck attempted to make a left turn onto the ramp and struck the Mazda MX-6 driven by the 29-year-old man, English said.
“As a result of the collision, the Mazda overturned and then struck a Ford Edge that was stopped in eastbound traffic,” English said.
The 29-year-old driver, and two passengers, ages 31 and 6 months, were taken to Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet with minor injuries, English said.
The drivers of the box truck and the Ford Edge were not injured.
Maldonado was issued a citation for failure to yield while turning left, English said.
