PINGREE GROVE, Ill. (STMW) - Six adults were hospitalized after a pickup truck, a sport-utility vehicle and a car collided on an icy roadway Wednesday night in northwestern Kane County.
Police responded at 9:47 p.m. to a three-vehicle crash on Plank Road near Brier Hill Road in an unincorporated area in Plato Township, according to a statement from the Kane County Sheriff's office.
