Wrong-way LSD driver causes South Loop crash
Thursday, February 09, 2012
February 9, 2012 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- Three people were injured when an $80,000 sports car crashed on Lake Shore Drive at Roosevelt while going the wrong way.
Two of the three people injured in crash are expected to survive. The condition of the third person, who was the wrong-way driver, is unknown.
Police say a woman was driving the Nissan GTR north in the southbound lanes of Lake Shore Drive by the Field Museum around 2 a.m. when the GTR struck a white Toyota Corolla. The Corolla then plowed into a van with a male driver. The van's driver refused medical treatment.
No charges have been filed as police investigate.
The crash left pieces of twisted metal strewn across Lake Shore Drive and the vehicles involved barely recognizable.
Tomasz Roik's mother, Malgorzata Solek of Burbank, was in her white Toyota Corolla, headed home from work around 2 a.m. when police say she was struck by the red Nissan GTR. Solek's car then hit a van, though the driver of that vehicle was able to walk away.
After emergency crews cut Solek out of her car, she underwent surgery at Northwestern Memorial Hospital to stop internal bleeding.
"You've got to see my mom right now," siad Roik. "She could've lost her life. So it's kind of painful for me, painful for my family ... I just cannot imagine how she survived that."
The two people in the car going the wrong way were also taken to Northwestern.
Shelly Williams says her 35-year-old uncle, Todd Williams, owns the red Nissan, but he was in the passenger seat being driven by a female friend.
"He was kind of shocked about the situation and everything that happened and everything," said Williams. "He's fine. He's just concerned about the other people that were involved in the accident."
This is the fifth wrong-way crash in the Chicago area in just the past month and the third in the last week.
On Monday, four people were killed when police say a driver went the wrong way on Interstate 80. And last Friday, a driver charged with driving under the influence drove six miles in the wrong direction on the Stevenson before hitting another car on the Lake Shore Drive ramp.
Malgorzata Solek, a 56-year-old grandmother of five, is expected to survive this latest incident, but her son thinks the other driver should be charged criminally.
"For me, it's attempted murder," said Roik. "Someone who's driving the wrong way and hit another car. What should I think?"
Doctors have not said how long his mother may be hospitalized. In addition to internal bleeding, she suffered multiple leg fractures.
In three out of the four previous crashes in the past month, alcohol was suspected to have played a role. In this case, police are still investigating.

Chicago Woman Charged in Wrong-Way Lake Shore Drive Crash
DUI charges for Lake Shore Drive wrong-way crash

Chicago Woman Charged in Wrong-Way Crash
A 29-year-old woman faces drunk driving charges in connection with a wrong-way crash on Lake Shore Drive that injured herself and two others.
Police say Carneris Wiggins, of the 2000 block of West 111th Street, drove her Nissan north in the southbound lanes early Thursday and collided with a Toyota Corolla near Roosevelt Road. The Nissan also crashed into a van after hitting the Corolla.
Wiggins suffered a broken pelvis and fractured clavicle. One of the two people in the Toyota Corolla car needed surgery to repair facial fractures. The driver of the van refused medical attention at the scene.
Wiggins was charged with felony aggravated driving under the influence and causing an accident and bodily harm.
Police also cited her for driving the wrong way on a one-way street, not slowing down, operating her car without insurance, and failing to carry her driver's license.
The crash was the third wrong-way crash in the Chicago area in the last week. Last Friday two people were injured when a driver went the wrong way of I-55 and crashed head-on just south of Thursday's accident on the curve toward Lake Shore Drive.
On Monday a driver reportedly intentionally went the wrong way on I-80 and crashed into an oncoming car, killing himself, two of his passengers and another driver.

technically who is at fault or is it a "no fault"? who can sue who or who pays for the damage?
I know they are both wrong but I'd put more blame on the racers for being STOPPED on a highway.

IMO more fault would go to the drunk driver.
And also those guys trying to street race are beyond stupid, and it wasn't even the fact that they stopped on the road. Whats more stupid is that they never checked to see if there was traffic coming??
Now the reason I think the drunk driver was more at fault, what if someones car broke down in the middle of the road for some odd reason and couldnt get it to the shoulder in time.
A drunk driver would have caused a major accident either case.

srika you got the insurance thing wrong lol
he asked for 20 mill to be covered if anything were to happen to his goods, like getting insurance when you send mail and they ask how much is it worth.

Fuck.. luckily he grabbed the reigns. It could have went bad quickly. Props to the drivers for keeping it together but it was still a reckless run with cars on the road.Originally Posted by civicdrivr
