Patch Plainfield, IL --Three people were taken to area hospitals following a two-vehicle crash at Lockport Street and Meadow Lane Wednesday evening.
Plainfield Deputy Fire Chief Jon Stratton said a minivan carrying three people — including a woman who is nine months pregnant — was heading east on Lockport Street when it collided with an SUV that was heading south on Meadow Lane.
“It was a T-bone-type crash,” Stratton said. The minivan rolled several times before coming to rest on its side, he said.
