Four Pedestrians Escape Life-Threatening Injuries In Suv Crash Into Rush Performance Personal Training Studio, Arlington Heights
Arlington Heights police and firefighter/paramedics responded about 11:42 AM Thursday to 10 South Evergreen Avenue Arlington Heights, IL. Police and firefighter/paramedics received a report that four people were injured when a vehicle crashed into a storefront at Rush Performance. On arrival firefighters and police discovered an SUV crash over the sidewalk to the storefront at Evergreen Plaza -- shattering the front plate glass window at Rush Performance at 10 South Evergreen Avenue and at Liberty Cleaners at 12 South Evergreen Avenue.
Two families were walking in opposite directions at the storefront sidewalk when a Honda mini-SUV crash in front of them -- jumping the parking curb and hitting the storefront.
One adult and three children suffered minor injuries, including lacerations. All four were treated at the scene by paramedics and were released on medical refusal by the injured adult at the scene. One child had a laceration on the top of his foot/ankle region. The adult had a bandage on his hand. All four narrowly missed being hit by the vehicle and being hit by large falling pieces of sharp plate glass, which could have caused life-threatening injuries.
No staff were injured at either of the commercial spaces in Evergreen Plaza. A desk at Rush Performance and a workspace counter at Liberty Cleaners were showered with sharp pieces of glass.
Police are investigating the crash, and a boardup company was called to secure the businesses. Neither business operations appear to be likely to be disrupted once boardup and cleanup services are completed.
