No injuries reported in Friday morning crash in Plainfield.
Despite extensive damage to both vehicles in what officials called a “high impact, high velocity crash,” no one was hurt in a Friday morning crash at 119th Street and Route 59. Plainfield Deputy Fire Chief said both drivers refused treatment at the scene following what he described as a “T-bone-type crash” at the intersection around 6:50 a.m. Stratton said both vehicles sustained extensive damage. “Both vehicles left the roadway and ended up in the northeast ditch area,” he said. “They both ended up way down in the ditch.” There were no other occupants in the vehicles, Stratton said. "[They were] very lucky," he said of the drivers. "This was high velocity." Plainfield police are investigating the crash.

Two vehicles were involved in the accident at around 4:15 p.m. Wednesday.
Three people were taken to Rush-Copley Hospital with minor injuries late Wednesday afternoon following a crash at Route 30 and 119th Street in Plainfield, according to Illinois State Police.

The female driver of the Camry and the two occupants of the Jetta, a male and female in their 20s, were all transported by Oswego ambulance to Rush-Copley in Aurora, according to Stratton.

But the change will be a long time coming; trustees OK'ed a "pre-annexation" agreement for a property that could be developed into a fuel station in the next decade, owner says.
Plainfield trustees on Monday signed off on a pre-annexation agreement for a site near 119th Street and Route 30 that could one day become a gas station. But it could take about a decade for the project to become a reality, according to Plainfield Mike Martin, who addressed the board behalf of property owners Peter and Gaylene Metrou. The couple, owners of the Grandma's Table Family Restaurant in Montgomery, currently rent the property at 25491 W. 119th Street to a tenant that manufactures sheds and picnic tables. There is also a home on the property. The property is located in unincorporated Will County and is not contiguous to the village. The pre-annexation will allow the parcel to be annexed into the village if the owners of the …

Propane tank used for heating believed to be the source of the blaze, which took 15 to 20 minutes to knock out, Deputy Chief Jon Stratton said.
A propane tank used for heating is believed to be the source of a house fire that broke out just before 1 p.m. today near 119th Street and U.S. 30, Plainfield Fire Protection District Deputy Chief Jon Stratton said. Firefighters arrived to find light smoke showing at the rear of the unoccupied home at 25509 W. 119th St., and most of the damage was contained to the back of the building and kitchen area, he said. They had to force their way into the house through the back entry. "We had a tough time with roof," Stratton said. "It's a tongue-in-groove roof covered in pea gravel. It took us awhile to break through." At one point there were about 75 firefighters on the scene, including some sent from the Oswego, Channahon, Minooka and Troy fire…

The eastbound lane of 119th Street will be closed for about a week, starting Oct. 31, so that Oneok (formerly Kinder Morgan) can inspect and repair a pipeline located beneath the pavement, Plainfield officials said. The work will also affect the southbound turn lane at Route 59, which will also be closed. Westbound 119th Street will not be affected, and access to the commercial businesses and Olympic Drive will remain open. However, other traffic will be detoured to 127th Street. For more information, call Scott Threewitt at the Plainfield Public Works Department at 815-436-3577.
