CHICAGO (CBS) \u2013 <\/strong>Police closed Lake Cook Road in both directions between Wilke Road and Route 53 after a crash sent a landscaping truck onto the sidewalk and into a bicyclist.<\/p>\n

Chopper 2 spotted the truck on the sidewalk – spilling a lot of dirt as it skidded off the road. The bike is located just under the driver’s side of the truck.<\/p>\n

Preliminary information from witnesses and other physical evidence says a 2011 Ford F550 was eastbound on Lake Cook Road approaching the intersection on North Wilke Road when a white 2019 Chevrolet Equinox made a left turn from westbound Lake Cook Road to head south on North Wilke Road. The vehicles collided at the intersection.<\/p>\n

The 2019 Chevrolet Equinox spun around and stayed in the eastbound lanes of traffic while the 2011 Ford F550 left the road to the southeast and struck the bicyclist. <\/p>\n

The bicyclist, a 43-year-old woman from unincorporated Arlington Heights, suffered life-threatening injuries and was transported to Lutheran General Hospital. <\/p>\n

The driver of the Chevrolet was transported by Palatine Fire Department Paramedics to Northwest Community Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Ford and his passenger were uninjured in the crash. <\/p>\n

The Cook County Sheriff’s Department and Buffalo Grove Police Department are assisting Arlington Heights Police with the diversion of traffic around the crash scene. <\/p>\n

The public is advised to avoid Lake Cook Road between Route 53 and Arlington Heights Road.<\/p>\n
