A 32-year-old Harvard man has died as a result of a single-vehicle crash early Saturday evening in the 20200 block of Illinois Route 173, in an unincorporated area near Harvard, according to the McHenry County sheriff's office.

On Saturday at 7:03 p.m., the McHenry County sheriff's office, Harvard Police Department and Harvard Fire Protection District, responded to a single vehicle crash involving a 2003 Ford F-250 that had crashed on Illinois Route 173, east of Harvard Hills Road, reports said.
