"I was inside my home watching TV and I heard the noise," said Anwar Kibiwala, a Skokie resident who lives near the highway, and the only witness on the scene. "My window was by the highway and I saw the car roll over, and right away I dialed 911."

The witness said the car rolled over two or three times, and the top of the car and its windshield is demolished. A firefighter on the scene said five people were in the car. 

This is the third in a string of car accidents around the area. Earlier this week, at Harms and Golf Roads occurred on Monday evening. Last week, a when one car hit the China Chef sign on Lincoln Avenue.
