Illinois State Police told Fox News Digital that the collision happened just after 11 a.m. Monday on the northbound lanes of the Tri-State Tollway in Elmhurst.
Police said the Wienermobile hit a Hyundai sedan, which was also traveling northbound, causing the driver to lose control and overcorrect, causing the car to roll over.
The right northbound lane was closed for the traffic crash investigation and all lanes were reopened nearly an hour later, police said.
