"A Tukwila man was seriously injured in a crash that embedded a guardrail inside the passenger compartment of the car he was driving.
Haybe Ahmed was driving a Toyota Camry northbound on Highway 509 in Burien at 12:11 p.m. Tuesday when he drove across a lane and struck a guardrail separating northbound and southbound traffic near Southeast 128th Street, according to the State Patrol.
Ahmed, 46, was trapped in the car until medics extracted him. He was listed in serious condition at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle on Tuesday evening.
Police investigating the crash haven't determined whether drugs or alcohol played a role.
The State Patrol says the guardrail prevented Ahmed's vehicle from crossing into oncoming traffic"

"A South Beloit man was killed Tuesday morning after his pickup truck collided with a semi truck on the Jane Addams Tollway, just west of Randall Road in Elgin.

Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Thomas Gartner said Michael Covert, 43, of South Beloit, was driving a black pickup truck west on I-90 about 7:30 a.m. when the vehicle left the roadway and crashed into the rear of a semi truck parked on the shoulder. Gartner said it is unclear why the pickup left the roadway and the accident remains under investigation.

One westbound lane was closed immediately after the accident but all lanes have since reopened. The two vehicles have also been removed from the scene.

No one in the semi truck was injured in the crash."
