Young girl killed, 3 others injured in collision near East Hyde Park

Three other passengers, including an infant, were hospitalized after the single-car wreck

CHICAGO, IL – A single-vehicle accident Sunday afternoon in Chicago’s South Side claimed the life of a 3-year-old girl and left three others, including an infant, hospitalized, reports ABC 7 Chicago.

The fatal crash happened in the 5300 block of South DuSable Lake Shore Drive, near the city’s East Hyde Park neighborhood.

According to Chicago police, a 31-year-old man was behind the wheel of a vehicle carrying four other occupants. At one point, for reasons still being investigated, he lost control of the vehicle, causing it to collide with several objects in the area.

A 3-year-old girl and 9-month-old infant from the vehicle were both rushed to Comer Children’s Hospital, where the 3-year-old died from her injuries.

Officials said the infant, along with a 9-year-old girl who was transported to Lurie Children’s Hospital, were treated for injuries believed to be non-life-threatening.

First responders also transported a 25-year-old woman to University of Chicago Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

It’s unclear what led up to the crash, and no charges or other details have been reported as of this writing.
