A fifth southbound car crashed into the disabled cars, which were in the southbound lanes of Sheridan Road, Day said.
Ambulance crews from Lake Bluff, Lake Forest, Knollwood, North Chicago and Libertyville responded, he said. None of the injuries was life-threatening, Day said.
All northbound and southbound lanes of Sheridan Road were closed at Illinois 137 for over an hour, Day said, and traffic was diverted west to Green Bay Road.
No one had been charged yet in the accident, Day said.
