MAYWOOD, Ill. (CBS) -- A man is dead and a woman has been hospitalized following a three-vehicle crash on the Eisenhower Expressway late Sunday night.
At 10:31 p.m. Sunday, a 2014 black Hyundai Sonata and a 2013 gray Lexus RX330 were headed west on the Eisenhower near 25th Avenue in the left and center lanes, respectively, according to Illinois State Police.
