Lake Villa woman killed in crash

A 20-year-old Lake Villa woman was killed in a single-vehicle crash Tuesday night in unincorporated Hebron Township, according to authorities.

Brandi C. Cechini was pronounced dead at the scene after emergency crews found her vehicle overturned on the side of a two-lane road, according to the McHenry County sheriff’s office.

Police said Cechini was found in a 1994 Toyota Camry, which had been traveling north on Greenwood Road but for unknown reasons exited the west side of the roadway and overturned as it struck multiple trees just north of Regnier Road.

Police said Cechini was wearing a seat belt, but sheriff’s personnel could not determine if air bags deployed.

Flight for Life, Wonder Lake and Hebron fire districts, McHenry County Conservation District Police, Richmond police and the McHenry County sheriff’s office responded to the crash.

The accident remains under investigation by the sheriff’s office and the McHenry County coroner’s office.
