In the original version of this story, five people were reported to be transported to area hospitals, but their conditions were unknown.

Commander Nick Treantafeles of the Des Plaines Police Department said there were no fatalities in the collision.

There is a link to a story by Journal & Topics Newspapers in the first post below, in which witness reports stated a black truck traveling southbound on Elmhurst Road, ran a red light, and struck a red truck either turning into or out of the 7-Eleven south of Oakton Street on Tuesday.

Treantafeles said there was no indication in the police report that the blue, not black, truck traveling southbound ran a red light.

The driver of the red truck traveling northbound, who was attempting to turn left into the 7-Eleven, was issued citations for failing to yield turning left, no valid driver’s license and no valid insurance, Treantafeles said.
