Crash victim identified

Police identified a 58-year-old Sycamore man Tuesday as the driver who died in a three-vehicle crash in Barrington Hills on Monday. Lt. Rich Semelsberger said Richard Johnson was killed when a gravel truck landed on top of the 2004 Ford pick up truck he was driving. He was a delivery driver for Pomps Tire Service in Channahon, Ill. The crash, which involved two gravel trucks and Johnson's pick-up truck, occurred about noon Monday at Route 68 and Bateman Road. The crash caused two fully loaded gravel trucks to roll over, dumping their contents onto the street. It closed Route 68 for several hours. The two gravel truck drivers were taken to St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates with non-life-threatening injuries, police said. Semelsberger said the crash remains under investigation by Barrington Hills police and the Lake County Major Crash Assistance team.
