A 61-year-old Spring Grove man died and two other people were injured in a head-on collision Jan. 24 near Spring Grove, authorities said Monday.

According to the McHenry County sheriff’s office, a 2004 Volvo driven by the 61-year-old man was traveling east on Main Street, east of Vila Vista Street, around 6:45 p.m. when, for unknown reasons, it crossed into westbound traffic as it approached a curve.

His vehicle then crashed head-on with a 2013 Cadillac Escalade traveling west.

The Volvo driver was taken to a hospital, where he later died. A 55-year-old woman and a 52-year-old man from the Cadillac were taken to the hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening.

Authorities say that air bags deployed in both vehicles, but the Volvo driver was not wearing his seat belt.

The crash is under investigation.
