Deerfield man killed in crash on Route 41 in Highland Park

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 crash led Highland Park Police to shut down traffic on northbound Route 41 between Clavey and Central avenues for several hours, according to the Highland Park Facebook page.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
