An adult and two children were hurt in a crash on I-80/94 early Monday morning. Indiana State Police believe an eastbound Chrysler van hit the right barrier wall, crossed the lanes and then struck the median wall head-on.
The 36-year-old driver was taken to Community Hospital in Munster with serious injuries. Two kids in the rear seat were also taken to hospitals. One was flown to a Chicago hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries. Police say neither child had been properly restrained.
Troopers suspect alcohol or drugs may have been a factor in the crash, but toxicology results are pending.
