One injured in accident on Route 45

One person was injured and Route 45 was shut down for an hour after a Wednesday morning crash near Antioch, police said.

Lake County Sheriff's Detective Chris Covelli said a Chevy Cobalt driven by Jonathon M. Bonadona, 23, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was heading north on Route 45 about 6:30 a.m. when it tried to pass a pickup truck. Bonadona entered the southbound lane to pass the truck but did not leave enough time to return to his original lane before hitting a car traveling south on Route 45, Covelli said.

Bonadona drove onto the southbound shoulder to avoid a head-on collision but hit a curb, spun out and then hit a Lincoln that was heading south, Covelli said.

The unidentified driver of the Lincoln was taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville with injuries that were not life-threatening, Covelli said.

Bonadona was cited for improper lane usage, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and driving too fast for conditions, Covelli said.

Route 45 was closed from Edwards Road to Route 173 for about an hour while officials cleaned up and investigated the crash, he said.

The crash remains under investigation, Covelli said
