The 66-year-old man killed in a crash Saturday morning in Gurnee was identified by county authorities Monday as Robert Wiedmann of Crossville, Tennessee.
Wiedmann died from blunt-force injuries suffered in the crash, the Lake County coroner's office said Monday.

A 64-year-old woman riding in Wiedmann's vehicle suffered injuries that officials said were not considered life-threatening. The Cadillac driver suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.
