‘Significant damage’, no injuries after car crash into Joliet barbershop – Shaw Local

Joliet — Joliet Police officers were called to the scene of a crash at the intersection of Caton Farm Road and Essington Road on Tuesday morning after one of the vehicles involved struck a nearby building.

According to the Joliet Police Department, officers were called to the 2400 block of Caton Farm Road shortly after 9:30 a.m. Tuesday after a Mercedes-Benz and Toyota crashed at the intersection and the Mercedes crashed into a local business.

The preliminary police report states that the Mercedes drove by Plane field resident Anthony De Angelis, 81, was driving north on Essington Road at Caton Farm Road and made a left turn onto westbound Caton Farm Road. During the bend, De Angelis’ vehicle collided with the Toyota, which was traveling west on Caton Farm Road after turning south from Essington.

After the collision, the Mercedes continued into the nearby business parking lot and struck the building at The Commission Barber Company, 2405 Caton Farm Road, police said.

Police noted that no injuries were reported as a result of the crash and a Joliet building inspector was called to inspect the barber shop premises after the building suffered what Joliet police described as “significant damage.”

After a preliminary investigation, it was determined that Essington’s southbound and northbound lanes had a green light at the time of the crash, police said.

De Angelis was cited for improper lane use, failure to yield left turn and failure to reduce speed to avoid a crash, police said.
