Two drivers seriously injured in Geneva crash

Drivers of two vehicles were seriously injured when one went through a stop sign about 1:30 a.m. Saturday, Geneva police said in a news release.

A 28-year-old Batavia man was driving a silver 2014 Mazda CX-5 north on Crissey Avenue when he failed to stop for a sign at the intersection of East State Street, police said. His vehicle struck an eastbound silver 2005 Honda Accord driven by a 22-year-old Geneva resident.

The Accord was pushed into the front yard of a residence in the 200 block of East State Street on the north side of the roadway, striking some bushes and cement stairs. There appeared to be no structural damage to the residence.

Both drivers were transported to Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital. Police are investigating whether alcohol and/or drugs contributed to the accident.

Police closed East State Street for about three hours to investigate the crash and process the scene for evidence. The accident remains under investigation.
