    33 Hot Rod involved in wreck in Oak Forest IL?

    This anyone on here? I'm curious to hear more details. Looks like the chassis held up well, but curious if the door got ripped open in the accident or if the steel structure stayed in place at least? Either way, hope they are ok!

    Ouch. Hope everyone was ok. Weird how they jump to the conclusion it was a prowler..

    The article said it was a 3 car accident. "The antique", a prowler and a Camry.

    Hope everyone is OK...

    It was a 2 car accident. "Prowler" label was simply the author guessing what they were looking at.

    I will share more details when appropriate. I know people will benefit from learning details of the crash and the resulting damage. Driver had a few dings but nothing serious. The passenger in the hot rod was okay. The Camry driver is the one that chose to go to the hospital (car needed to be towed anyway).

    Good. You gotta worry when crumple zones and airbags meet custom
    Machinery..
