Forest Park, IL (June 4, 2026) – Three people were hurt early on Thursday morning, June 4, after an accident involving two motorcycles and a car on Interstate 290. The accident happened around 1:46 a.m. in the westbound lanes near Harlem Avenue.
Illinois State Police said the vehicles were involved on the Eisenhower Expressway. Three people were taken to local hospitals with minor injuries.
The three right lanes of westbound Interstate 290 were closed shortly after the collision. The closure began around 1:54 a.m. and lasted about an hour before the lanes reopened.
The police did not release the names of those involved. Details about how the wreck unfolded were not included in the first report. The crash remains under review as investigators continue working to confirm the sequence of events.
We hope all three people taken for care recover quickly.
What Details Are Frequently Reviewed After Motorcycle Accidents on Expressways?
Motorcycle accidents on expressways usually require a close review of lane position, traffic speed, and how each vehicle moved before contact. When two motorcycles and a car are involved, investigators may examine whether the vehicles were traveling in the same lane, changing lanes, slowing, or reacting to traffic ahead.
Nighttime travel can add another factor because visibility may be reduced. Lighting, weather, road surface, and nearby ramps may help explain how drivers and riders saw each other before the accident.
Lane closures can also provide useful context. They may show where vehicles came to rest and how much space was needed for cleanup. Vehicle damage, roadway marks, witness accounts, and camera footage may help build a clearer timeline.
