This is from Larry Shapiro:

Long Grove Fire Protection District (FPD) units, along with mutual aid companies from Buffalo Grove, Prospect Heights, and Arlington Heights, were dispatched to a tractor-trailer rollover with possible entrapment on the northbound I-53 off-ramp to eastbound Lake Cook Road around 2:40 PM on March 18, 2015. Buffalo Grove Tower 25 was the first unit on scene and confirmed that two people were trapped inside the overturned truck, which was resting on its roof. They immediately requested a second ambulance and a heavy wrecker equipped with airbags to assist in the rescue operation.

Two separate extrication efforts were underway — Long Grove focused on freeing the passenger, while Buffalo Grove and Prospect Heights worked on the driver. There was even some discussion about calling in a helicopter due to the anticipated length of the operation, but it turned out not to be necessary. The passenger was successfully freed first, followed shortly after by the driver. Arlington Heights Ambulance 4 and Long Grove Ambulance 55 transported the injured individuals to Lutheran General and Condell hospitals, respectively.

Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Squad 51 was called in as a third backup unit but was released upon arrival since the situation had stabilized.

Here are some photos from the scene, with a full gallery available at shapirophotography.net. I will also be posting a video of the extrication, as well as images and footage of the recovery performed by Hillside Towing.
