Driver killed in head-on crash in McHenry Township

A 23-year-old Zion man was killed and a 56-year-old Gurnee man suffered minor injuries in a two-vehicle crash in McHenry Township early Saturday, authorities said.

McHenry County sheriff's deputies, Lakemoor police and McHenry Township fire and rescue personnel responded to the crash about 12:09 a.m. Saturday in the 300 block of West Bay Road.

Sheriff's officials said a preliminary investigation indicated that a 2004 Nissan Sentra driven by the 23-year-old man was eastbound on West Bay Road when it crossed into an oncoming land and collided head-on with a 2017 Toyota Sienna driven by the Gurnee man.

The Nissan's driver was extricated and flown to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where he was pronounced deceased.

The driver and only occupant of the Toyota was taken to Northwestern Hospital in McHenry with minor injuries, authorities said.

It is unknown at this time if drugs or alcohol played a factor in the crash, according to the sheriff's office. The McHenry County Sheriff's Major Crash Investigation Unit and the Lake County coroner's office are investigating.
