Two men killed in wrong-way crash on Route 12 in Wauconda

Editor's note: The story has been updated to reflect that the Odyssey had turned onto Route 12 from Bonner Road, which is more than a mile north of the crash site.

Two men were killed and a third was injured early Thursday when a minivan headed the wrong way on Route 12 in Wauconda collided with a truck, police said.

The identities of the men killed weren't released Thursday as authorities continued their investigation.

The crash occurred about 2:15 a.m. when a Honda Odyssey traveling south in the northbound lanes of Route 12 near Route 59 hit a delivery truck from A.H. Vending & Food Services.

The Odyssey had turned onto Route 12 from Bonner Road, which is more than a mile north of the crash site, Wauconda Police Chief David Wermes said.

Another motorist came upon the crash site and called 911, Wermes said.

The 25-year-old man driving the Odyssey and his 24-year-old passenger were pronounced dead on the scene, police said.

The truck's driver, a 23-year-old man, was taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville with unspecified injuries.

Route 12 was closed between Old Rand Road and Route 176 for several hours Thursday morning as Wauconda police and the Major Crash Assistance Team investigated the crash.
