Route 59 reopened after North Barrington crash investigation

Three people were injured, one critically, in a crash Thursday morning on Route 59 in North Barrington.

A Ford van traveling north on Route 59 crossed the center line near Golfview Drive at about 11:15 a.m. and crashed head-on with a southbound Subaru, according to the Lake County sheriff’s office.

Both drivers were taken to hospitals and were stable; a passenger in the Subaru was in critical condition, according to authorities.

Route 59 between Miller and Signal Hill roads was closed for a few hours as the crash was investigated, officials said, but the road has been reopened to traffic.
