Fox River Grove man killed, three teens injured in Lincolnshire crash

A 79-year-old Fox River Grove man was killed and three teens injured in a two-vehicle crash Tuesday night in Lincolnshire, police said.

The crash occurred at 8:14 p.m. when a 2004 Lexus RX330 driven by the man north on Milwaukee Avenue attempted to turn west onto Aptakisic Road and was struck by a southbound 2010 Toyota RAV4, according to police.

The man was taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where he was pronounced dead.

The Lake County coroner's office identified him Wednesday as William Mooney. Preliminary autopsy results indicate he died from blunt-force injuries suffered in the crash, the coroner's office reported.

The driver of the Toyota, a 19-year-old from Buffalo Grove, and two passengers, ages 17 and 16, also were taken to hospitals for treatment. The 19-year-old and 16-year-old have since been released, but the 17-year-old remained hospitalized Wednesday, police said.

The crash remains under investigation.
