Aurora, IL (October 23, 2024) – A tragic traffic accident occurred Monday afternoon involving three vehicles at the intersection of Farnsworth Avenue and Mountain Street. The Aurora Police Department reported that the crash happened just before 1 p.m.
Preliminary investigations indicate that a white 2024 Nissan Kicks was traveling eastbound on Mountain Street and attempted to cross Farnsworth Avenue when it was struck by at least one of two northbound vehicles—a black 2008 Cadillac Escalade and a maroon 1997 Ford Explorer. The impact caused the Ford Explorer to roll over, resulting in the driver, a 27-year-old man, becoming pinned inside the vehicle.
Emergency responders from the Aurora Fire Department arrived promptly at the scene, extricating the driver from the wreckage. He was transported to Ascension Mercy Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries. Additionally, two occupants from the other vehicles involved were taken to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
The intersection was closed for several hours as authorities conducted their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash. The City of Aurora’s Emergency Management Agency and other support services were notified due to damage to city property, which included a pedestrian sign, a streetlight, and a guardrail.
