Cardinal News — Mon, 13 May 2013 23:02:11 +0000

VIDEO: Aftermath of truck crash with fire, followed by interview with men who saved the life of a truck driver who was trapped in his burning truck after a crash at Lively Boulevard and Thorndale Avenue.

Elk Grove Village police and firefighter/paramedics responded about 2:31 PM Monday to a report of a crash involving two trucks and a car Lively Boulevard and Thorndale Avenue Elk Grove Village, IL. Firefighters and police received an update that one of the trucks was on fire and that the drivers of the trucks were not getting out of their vehicles.

People working at a warehouse at the northwest corner of Lively Boulevard and Thorndale Avenue rushed to help with a fire extinguisher, but the fire was too much for the fire extinguisher to suppress the fire. Next painters from Integrity Painting and Decorating of Downers Grove were using a power washer to prepare a warehouse on the northeast corner for a new tenant. They rushed over with the power washer and water gun and put water on the fire in the cab and on the man who was yelling for help. Two Elk Grove Village police officers were then able to get the man out of the truck. The power washers continued to extinguish the man’s burning clothes after he was removed from the truck.

Firefighter/paramedics from Elk Grove Village and Elk Grove Township helped the crash victims and transported at least two victims to a local hospital (number of victims not confirmed … developing).

Firefighters from Wood Dale went to work on fire suppression while Elk Grove Village firefighters assisted, but focused on the contents of the trucks and securing the saddle gas tanks under the two trucks. Apparently neither truck was carrying hazardous materials. A substantial amount of oil/gas mixture spilled into a culvert and the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District was called to the scene. Thorndale Avenue was blocked in both directions until about 5:15 p.m. when the eastbound lanes were opened. The westbound lanes of Thorndale Avenue were still blocked at 6:00 pm.

One of the Good Samaritans that helped rescue the truck driver reported minor injuries and was treated at the scene by Itasca firefighters.

Elk Grove Village Fire Chief Richard J. Mikel personally came over to congratulate the men from Integrity Painting and Decorating for saving the man’s life, “You saved his life.”

Infant Injured At Woodfield Mall “Dropped By Easter Bunny”

Cardinal News — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 23:25:46 +0000

Schaumburg police and firefighter/paramedics responded about 6:10 PM Friday to a report of an injured infant at Woodfield Mall, Schaumburg. Rough week to be manager at Woodfield Mall. On Saturday about 11:09 a.m. paramedics responded with two ambulances for three elderly people that fell down the escalator. Fortunately only minor injuries were reported.

Today about 5:00 p.m. paramedics were called to the center court “holiday decoration” area for a report of an infant that was injured while dropped by the ‘Easter Bunny’. Witnesses reported that the bunny was sitting on a bench and lowered his or her arm, which caused a 6-month-old male infant to fall. The infant’s face hit the bench, and then the infant hit the floor face-first, according to the witnesses. The fall was a distance of about three feet. the infant was crying immediately after the fall, and did not appear to lose consciousness.

The bunny was relieved, and was helped out of the area with two assistants, apparently because it is difficult for the bunny to see in the costume. A new bunny came out in the costume. No camera rules are enforced in the area, because photos are sold by the holiday operations at Woodfield.

The infant and the family spent time in the emergency room until about 9:00 p.m. and were released. Police returned about 6:10 p.m. to the scene at Woodfield when the father of the child returned to Woodfield Mall to attempt to get a report. Police helped resolved the dispute.

The witnesses thought it was obvious that the costume hindered the Easter Bunny’s ability to see and move around. The witnesses believed there should be additional precautions to maintain safety for an infant being held by the bunny. They also believed the floor should be softer in case of a fall.
