A mother and her seven children, aged 2 to 15, were hospitalized Sunday, including at least four kids who suffered serious injuries, following an early morning rollover crash near Hoffman Estates, according to Illinois State Police.
Four of the children were left with serious to life-threatening injuries after the woman driving a blue 2003 GMC Yukon apparently lost control and the SUV rolled over into a ditch along the right side of Interstate 90 east at milepost 61 in Cook County around 12:25 a.m., according to a news release from the state police.

The woman was taken to a nearby hospital with serious injuries after the crash and all seven children initially were taken to area hospitals before the four children with the more serious injuries were taken to regional hospitals for additional treatment, state police said.
State troopers who responded to reports of a single-vehicle crash closed the two right lanes of I-90 east until about 4:30 a.m. for the investigation.
State police said the cause of the crash had not yet been determined.
