3 Men Killed in Chicago Car Crash

By Jamie G. Goldstein

A fatal car collision took the lives of three family members and one other man. Five other people were also seriously injured in the crash, including a baby who was the son of one of the drivers. The three men killed were Jolliffs Thomas, Otis Thomas and Albert Cole Sr. It appears Cole was the driver of one of the cars at the time of the collision.

Cole was driving eastbound when he crossed the center line and collided with the other vehicle, which was traveling westbound. The injured were taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital in Chicago for treatment. Reports state the injuries were serious.

There is an ongoing investigation to determine exactly what occurred. At this point it is difficult to tell due to the poor condition of the vehicles.

Those injured in the car crash may be entitled to compensation for their injuries. The injured and the family members of those killed should contact an attorney to learn what legal steps they may take against the at fault driver.
