COOK COUNTY, IL – Two people have died following a single-vehicle crash early Tuesday on Interstate 57 near Posen that left a third person injured, reports CBS News Chicago.

The fatal accident unfolded on the northbound highway approaching 147th Street, just before 2:00 a.m.

An investigation into the circumstances of the event remains underway, but Illinois State Police said a passenger car was traveling northbound when it crashed.

First responders pronounced one person deceased at the scene.

Two other people from the vehicle were rushed to an area hospital where one victim succumbed to their injuries. Officials said the other victim was hospitalized with injuries considered non-life-threatening.

A section of the northbound interstate in the area was shut down for nearly seven hours. Just after 9:00 a.m., all travel lanes were announced reopened to traffic.

Authorities continue to investigate.
