A 58-year-old Deerfield man died in a two-vehicle crash Wednesday night in Highland Park, officials said Friday.
Keith Jachim was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, near the intersection of Route 41 and Chantilly Boulevard, according to Steve Newton, chief deputy of the Lake County coroner's office.
An autopsy performed Friday morning determined Jachim died from blunt-force injuries sustained in the crash, Newton said.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
