A crash on I-80/94 resulted in multiple injuries early Monday. Indiana State Police say it happened around 2:20 a.m. in the westbound lanes near Calumet Avenue.
Troopers believe the driver of a Cadillac SUV was trying to pass a semi on the right but ended up hitting the attenuator separating the Calumet Avenue exit ramp. That caused the Cadillac to go airborne and hit the semi as it passed.
Police say the Cadillac's driver, a 25-year-old Illinois woman, was ejected, while a front-seat passenger was trapped inside. Two rear-seat passengers were able to get out on their own. Those who were injured were taken to Munster Community Hospital and then transferred to the University of Chicago Hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries.
Police believe alcohol or drugs were a factor in the crash. I-80/94 was blocked for about four hours for cleanup and investigation.
