Waukegan, IL – Injury Crash Reported at North Ave and W Glen Flora Ave

Waukegan, IL (October 30, 2025) – Emergency crews responded to a two-vehicle collision with injuries on Tuesday morning at the intersection of North Avenue and West Glen Flora Avenue in Waukegan. The crash, reported at approximately 8:02 a.m., left at least one person injured and prompted a significant emergency response during the morning commute.

According to the Waukegan Police Department, two vehicles collided after one reportedly entered the intersection against a signal. The impact caused visible damage to both vehicles, scattering debris across the roadway and blocking traffic in multiple lanes. Responding officers and paramedics arrived quickly to assess the scene and provide medical aid to those involved.

One driver sustained injuries and was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital for treatment. Officials have not released further details about the victim’s condition at this time. The second driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.

Firefighters secured the crash site while tow trucks were dispatched to remove the damaged vehicles. The intersection was partially closed for cleanup and to allow investigators to document evidence before reopening to traffic.

The Waukegan Police Department’s Traffic Division is continuing to investigate the cause of the collision. Authorities are reviewing nearby surveillance cameras and interviewing witnesses to determine whether speed, distraction, or a failure to yield may have contributed to the crash.

We wish the victim and everyone involved a speedy recovery.
