The crash happened about 6 a.m. Friday at the intersection of Higgins Road and Route 59, the Chicago Tribune reported.

A 2015 Santa Fe Hyundai driven by Michael Billings, 60, of Lake in the Hills, was traveling south when it hit a Ford 550 pickup truck stopped at a traffic light, police told the Tribune.
