Naperville, IL – A Naperville police squad car rolled onto its roof Monday evening during a three-vehicle crash near Route 59 and 95th Street, sending three people to the hospital and sparking widespread attention after photos circulated on social media, according to the Naperville Police Department.
Police said the crash happened just after 6 p.m. Monday as an officer was responding to a “patient not breathing” emergency call. While heading to the scene, the squad car became involved in a collision with two other vehicles in the south Naperville corridor, causing the police vehicle to overturn.
According to officials, the officer and two others were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities confirmed the officer is expected to recover and thanked residents who reached out with concerns after seeing images of the overturned squad car online.
The intersection of Route 59 and 95th Street is one of the area’s busiest travel routes, and drivers reported delays Monday evening as police and fire crews worked to clear the crash site. No details have yet been released about what led to the collision or whether any citations will be issued.
The Naperville Police Department said the crash remains under investigation, with officers reviewing witness statements, traffic-camera data, and onboard squad video to determine what caused the impact.
Residents in Naperville, DuPage County, and neighboring Will County may see additional police presence in the area this week as the investigation continues.
