Man dies in car with mysterious, hazardous substance.

No cause of death yet, and the hazardous substance is still a mystery. Clearly the beginnings of a zombie apocalypse, but the Chicago Tribune treats it like a traffic report:

A man died this morning in a vehicle that contained an unknown hazardous substance near the Willow Springs Woods forest preserve in the southwest suburbs. The incident prompted a major hazardous materials response.

A hazmat crew, Willow Springs Police, Cook County Forest Preserve Police and at least a dozen fire departments worked at the scene, blocking traffic about 1:30 a.m. today at Willow Springs Road and Archer Avenue in Willow Springs during the investigation.

Traffic was restored later in the morning.

The Cook County medical examiner's office confirmed that a white man had died, but his name, age and cause of death weren't known as of 6 a.m.
