Woman Hospitalized, 2 Cars Towed After Eola Road Crash: Aurora Police

AURORA, IL — A woman was hospitalized as a precaution Wednesday morning after she was involved in a car crash at the intersection of Eola Road and Liberty Street, Aurora police said.

A silver Jeep Compass and a gold Saturn sedan collided at about 7:08 a.m. at the intersection. The Jeep was westbound on Liberty Street, the Saturn eastbound, when the SUV began to make a left turn and hit the sedan, spokesperson Jim Levicki told Patch.

The Jeep driver reported chest pain and was evaluated by Aurora Fire Department paramedics, who then took her to a local hospital as a precaution. At the time, her condition appeared stable, Levicki said.

Both cars were towed from the scene. A northbound lane was temporarily blocked while emergency crews worked, but the roadway reopened just after 9 a.m., according to an alert published by police on Facebook.

The crash remains under investigation, Levicki said.
