• Court delays hearing for Cary man accused of being on cocaine when crashing into disabled car, killing 95-year-old Palatine man in Deer Park (lakemchenryscanner.com) — A man from unincorporated Cary faces multiple felony DUI and reckless homicide charges after a January crash in Deer Park that killed a 95-year-old Palatine man working on his disabled car. A Lake County judge delayed a detention hearing so attorneys can review hundreds of pieces of crash evidence. The case could carry significant legal consequences for the local defendant. 
• Driver identified, charged, after truck crashes into building and flees in Barrington; responding officer involved in crash (lakemchenryscanner.com) — A Barrington officer responding to a hit-and-run call crashed into a Toyota Camry driven by a 20-year-old Cary woman at Route 14 and Lake Cook Road, but no one was hurt. The squad car was heavily damaged and towed, while the original hit-and-run truck driver has since been cited for traffic offenses tied to striking a downtown Barrington jewelry store building.
