Grayslake woman, 70, dies following head-on crash in Warren Township

A 70-year-old Grayslake woman has died after a head-on crash Saturday in which a juvenile driver crossed the centerline, the Lake County sheriff's office said in a news release Sunday.

The juvenile suffered injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening.

The crash occurred about 4:30 p.m. on Route 45 north of West Cottage Avenue in Warren Township.

A preliminary investigation showed a 2011 Kia Soul, driven by a boy who lives in Round Lake Beach, was traveling north when he crossed the double-yellow center lane divider and entered the southbound lane of traffic, according to the news release. The vehicle struck a southbound 2003 Toyota Corolla driven by the Grayslake woman.

Both drivers were taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where the woman died about 11 p.m., according to the news release. Her identity hasn't yet been released.

The Lake County coroner's office will conduct an autopsy Tuesday. The crash remains under investigation.
