There were fewer accident reports in the Geneva police blotter this week, but they were more serious than the usual fender benders: a three-car collision on Randall Road and an accident with injuries on Kaneville Road.

Three-Car Accident on South Randall Road—The front of a Ford Focus driven by Kathleen Sullivan, 23, of Geneva collided with the rear of an Audi Q5 driven by Audrey Lenchner, 44, of St. Charles, which then collided with the rear of a Lincoln LS driven by Michal Luszczek of Elmwood Park around 1:20 p.m. Aug. 1 in the 1700 block of South Randall Road about 40 feet south of Gleneagle drive, reports said.

There were no injuries, according to police reports. More than $1,500 damage was done to any one vehicle.
