Injury Crashes in Illinois
Urban intersections like Wentworth and 47th in Chicago often see frequent collisions due to dense traffic, constant vehicle movement, and the presence of pedestrians.

Illinois cities, particularly Chicago, continue to work toward reducing injury crashes through traffic signal upgrades, public safety awareness, and enhanced enforcement.
