Maywood, IL : Tow truck driver killed on earlier crash at Interstate 290 near Ninth Avenue on Wednesday, 1st January, 2020

Tow truck driver Andrew R. Dove-Ferdere, 23, of Berkeley, was killed when a car hit him Wednesday morning as he stood outside his truck on the Eisenhower Expressway after responding to an earlier crash, according to a preliminary investigation by state police.
The incident occurred about 6 a.m. on Interstate 290 near Ninth Avenue in Maywood, according to a statement from Trooper Wendy Corona, an Illinois State Police spokeswoman. A gray Nissan was traveling east in the right lane when it veered, striking the tow truck operator and an unoccupied vehicle.
Dove-Ferdere succumbed to his injuries at the scene. The driver of Nissan was hurt in the collision and taken to a local hospital with minor injuries, Corona said. It is unknown if the driver was wearing a seat belt at time of collision.
All eastbound lanes were closed for about 3 1/2 hours, reopening at about 9:45 a.m., though the state police let traffic through on the left shoulder, Corona said.
