Woman, 21, Seriously Hurt In Crash With Gravel Truck: Kendall Sheriff

OSWEGO, IL — A 21-year-old woman was seriously injured in a crash with a gravel truck Thursday afternoon in Oswego Township, according to the Kendall County Sheriff's Office.

Three cars crashed at about 3:33 p.m. at the intersection of Plainfield Road and Schlapp Road.

Detectives determined in a "thorough investigation" that the truck was driving northwest on Plainfield Road when it attempted to turn left onto Schlapp Road and struck an eastbound car, Deputy Dan Briars told Patch. The car then crashed into a third vehicle that was stopped at a stop sign on Schlapp Road at the intersection with Plainfield Road.

Aerial footage from ABC7 showed a semi blocking the road and a heavily damaged car in a grassy section off the intersection.

The 21-year-old, from Aurora, was hospitalized with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Briars said no other injuries were reported.

The truck driver, a 62-year-old man, was issued a citation for failing to yield while turning left.

Portions of Plainfield Road, Schlapp Road and Simons Road were closed until about 7:35 p.m.
