Firefighters inspect a burnt out auto after it crashed into a tree, as police prepare for a lengthy investigation.
Police and firefighter/paramedics responded to a car vs. tree crash with the car fully involved with fire about 2:20 a.m. Sunday. The driver crawled from the car as the car ignited and before it became fully-involve with fire. Bystanders encouraged the driver to crawl further from the car when they feared the car would explode. The male driver crawled about 30 yards north of the car.
Arlington Heights police, Buffalo Grove police and Long Grove Fire Protection District firefighter/paramedics arrived first to find a victim lying in the parkway about 30 yards north of the car. Witnesses said he appeared to have a head injury.
A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700 from Denver slid off the left edge of the end of Runway 13 Center at Midway International Airport around 1:35 p.m. Tuesday. The aircraft rested in the grass about 150 feet from a wall near 63rd Street and Cicero Avenue. The nose of the aircraft was aimed at a White Castle drive-thru.
O’Hare International Airport and Chicago Executive Airport both recorded a low temperature above freezing overnight, but why is there frost on roofs and grass in Arlington Heights? Even standing water in Arlington Heights had a thin layer of ice on the surface.
Both airports are located a little closer to Lake Michigan, which tends to keep overnight lows a little warmer during cold months in Chicago. However, in warm months, the proximity to Lake Michigan might bring lower recorded overnight lows. That’s because the specific heat of water is higher compared to most other substances, such as soil and concrete. Specific heat is a scientific term describing the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance one degree Celsius.

Buffalo Grove police responded about 8:35 PM Saturday to a report of a good deed gone bad in the 1100 block of Windbrooke Drive. A man helped an intoxicated man get home from a Jewel-Osco, and when he drove the man near the man’s home, the man wouldn’t get out of the Good Samaritan’s car.
When police arrived, the man was observed to be highly intoxicated, and police called for paramedics.
