Rolling Meadows police and firefighter/paramedics responded about 5:36 p.m. Monday to a report of a personal injury car vs. pole crash on Algonquin Road at Route 53. Police received a report that a silver Lexus was crashed into a pole east of Route 53 in the eastbound lanes.
Bystanders and police helped the victim before firefighter/paramedics arrived.
Eastbound Algonquin Road was blocked for an extended period because a tall lamp post was leaning precariously at the crash scene.
