Intersections continue to be a hot spot for collisions and incidents that occur when drivers fail to yield the right of way can have dire repercussions. Motor vehicle accidents involving similar circumstances could leave those involved with severe injuries and facing a long road to recovery. One person was reportedly rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries following a collision that occurred at an intersection in Illinois.

Law enforcement agents have advised that the incident occurred at around 7 p.m. on a recent Friday. According to reports, the accident took place when the driver of a car crashed into the driver's side of a second vehicle upon entering an intersection. The impact on the crash reportedly forced the other driver to become trapped in her vehicle.

Regardless of how it happens, being stranded within a vehicle in the middle of the road can be a scary and stressful experience. Should nearby drivers fail to spot the vehicle in time to steer out of its path, the results can be devastating, especially if the other vehicle is a tractor-trailer. Motor vehicle accidents involving commercial vehicles run the unfortunate risk of causing serious injuries. A recent accident involving a tractor-trailer has reportedly left a woman in Illinois with critical injuries.

The incident reportedly took place on a recent Tuesday night when the driver of a car was involved in a single-vehicle crash and became stranded within the lanes of traffic. Upon encountering debris from the initial incident, the driver of a tractor-trailer attempted to swerve and miss the debris. Unfortunately, the semitrailer proceeded to collide with the car in the process.

Placing a loved one in a nursing home is not an easy decision for an Illinois family to make. If you are no longer able to provide the care and support your loved one needs, you probably spent a significant amount of time researching facilities and trying to find the best option for him or her. It can devastate your family if you learn that the facility is not treated your loved one well. 

Nursing home abuse can come in many forms, but it's always unacceptable. It may be helpful to learn more about signs of abuse or neglect, and if you think these things are happening, you can speak out. It is your right to advocate for your loved one and pursue justice on his or her behalf in the event of nursing home abuse.

With the high rate of speed at which vehicles travel on the interstate, even one minor error in judgment or a slight deviation in direction could prove disastrous. Motor vehicle accidents that occur at excessive speeds also run a greater risk of leaving those involved with long-term or permanent injuries, or worse. A 57-year-old man was killed during a recent accident that took place on an interstate in Illinois.

According to reports, the accident took place just before 8 p.m. on a recent Tuesday. According to initial investigations, the man was driving northbound on a local interstate when another vehicle suddenly crashed into his car and forced it to veer off the road and strike a concrete barrier. A third vehicle struck his car shortly thereafter and the impact on this crash caused the car to overturn and come to a rest upside down.
