A man driving a stolen car was killed when he crashed into another vehicle early Wednesday in Ingleside, authorities said.
The collision occurred about 5 a.m. on Route 134 east of North Catherine Street.
A blue Honda sedan driven by 27-year-old Joshua Rosendahl of Ingleside was headed west on Route 134 when it veered into oncoming traffic and struck a white GMC truck head on, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office stated in a news release.
The 44-year-old Johnsburg man driving the truck was injured but is expected to survive, police said. He was taken to Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital in McHenry and is cooperating with police.
Preliminary autopsy results show Rosendahl died from injuries of the head, neck, and chest as a result of the crash. Police said an open bottle of whiskey was found in his lap.
The Honda had been reported stolen about 2 p.m. Tuesday outside a Fox Lake gym, a sheriff’s spokesperson said.
The crash is under investigation.
