Illinois State Police said the trooper had the squad car’s emergency lights on, blocking lanes on Interstate 94 near Tower Road at 8:20 p.m. on Friday when a red 2018 Jeep Compass, driven by Zeina Youmaran, 62, of Lincolnwood, failed to stop and crashed into the car.

The trooper was inside the vehicle at the time of the crash and had to be hospitalized for injuries which were deemed to be non-life threatening.
