Lombard, IL – A vehicle crash at a busy Lombard intersection is causing significant traffic disruptions Friday, prompting police to urge drivers to avoid the area.
According to the Village of Lombard, the crash occurred at the intersection of Roosevelt Road and Finley Road, where police responded and remained on scene managing traffic and safety concerns. Officials said tow trucks were en route as of Friday, but delays continued to build as crews worked to clear the roadway.
Authorities have not released details about how many vehicles were involved or whether any injuries were reported. The crash site, located along a heavily traveled commercial corridor, has led to congestion stretching in multiple directions during peak travel hours.

Commuters traveling through Lombard and surrounding DuPage County communities may experience ripple effects from the crash, especially along connecting routes feeding into Roosevelt Road. Local officials said an update will be provided once the intersection is fully reopened.
Motorists are encouraged to remain alert, follow posted detours, and use caution when approaching emergency responders working at the scene.
Traffic incidents along major suburban intersections like Roosevelt and Finley can quickly lead to widespread delays, particularly during daytime hours when traffic volumes are high.
Updates are expected as the situation develops.
