One dead, three hurt in Deer Park crash

A 95-year-old Palatine man died, and three other people were injured in a serious crash Tuesday afternoon in Deer Park.

The Palatine man exited his 2006 Honda Accord in a westbound lane of Lake Cook Road, just east of Quentin Road, after the vehicle broke down, authorities said.

As he was looking underneath the vehicle, a 2024 Honda HR-V, driven by a 30-year-old Cary man, struck the Accord from behind.

The crash caused significant injuries to the man under his car, and he died at the scene, authorities said.

The driver of the HR-V, along with a passenger, a 30-year-old woman from Arlington Heights, was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A passenger in the Accord, a 77-year-old Barrington woman, was also transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A school bus waiting to turn left onto southbound Quentin was sideswiped in the crash.

No students were on the bus, and the driver was not hurt.

The crash remains under investigation by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Technical Crash Investigations Team.
