Mundelein police investigating fatal crash on Lake Street

A 24-year-old Lemont woman is dead after an early Tuedsay morning crash on Lake Street in Mundelein.

Mundelein police reported the crash just after 1 a.m.

The Lake County coroner’s office identified the woman as Hannah Lebert. An autopsy indicated she died of blunt force injuries suffered in the crash.

Police said Lebert was driving an Acura sedan south on Lake Street just south of University Drive when her car veered across the media and crashed into a semitractor-trailer head-on.

Lebert had to be extricated from her vehicle and was taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville where she was pronounced dead. The 44-year-old driver of the semi was also transported with injuries not considered to be life-threatening.

Lake Street was closed for nearly seven hours.
