Man dies in crash on I-94 near Gurnee

A 64-year-old Gurnee man was killed in a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 94 Sunday morning, according to police.

Authorities said Robert Majerus suffered a heart attack and veered off the roadway into a light pole at about 7:30 a.m. near Grand Avenue.

The vehicle also struck a number of trees along the side of the southbound lanes of the expressway, said Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Legrand.

Paramedics performed CPR on Majerus at the scene and transported him to Advocate Condell Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 8:24 a.m., said Lake County Coroner Artis Yancey.

Majerus’s wife was in the front passenger seat and suffered minor injuries in the crash, according to police.

Yancey said an autopsy will be performed Monday.
