Driver killed when Hummer collides with pickup truck in Mundelein
An autopsy likely will be conducted Thursday on a driver who died Tuesday after a two-vehicle crash in Mundelein.
The fatal crash occurred about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday at Route 176 and Route 60/83, when a Hummer SUV collided with a pickup truck, Mundelein police said.
The man driving the Hummer was taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where he died, police said. Authorities haven't released his name but said he was an 82-year-old Mundelein-area resident.
The autopsy wasn't done sooner because the coroner's office tests for the COVID-19 virus before those examinations now. As of Wednesday afternoon, the coroner's office was awaiting test results. If a body has the virus, additional protective measures are taken, Coroner Howard Cooper said.
The driver of the pickup truck was taken to Condell with minor injuries.
No tickets have been issued. The crash remains under investigation by the Lake County Major Crash Assistance Team.
