2 Dead, 3 Injured In Hebron Car Crash

HEBRON, IL — Two people are dead and three are injured after a two-vehicle crash in Hebron around 4:20 p.m. Sunday, according to a press release from the McHenry County Sheriff's Office.

Ten fire districts responded to the 7400 block of U.S. Route 47 in Hebron, where police say a 42-year-old Marengo man was driving a Chevy Impala south on Route 47. A Kia, driven north by a 29-year-old Hebron woman, crossed into oncoming traffic "for unknown reasons" and collided head-on with the Marengo man.

Both of the drivers were pronounced dead at the scene, the press release says. The Hebron woman was wearing her seat belt, but air bags did not deploy.

The Chevy had three passengers; a 39-year-old woman in the passenger seat and two children, 9 and 12, in the back seat without their seat belts on, according to the press release.

The three passengers were taken to area hospitals and treated for serious injuries.

The McHenry County Coroner, alongside the traffic investigations unit, is investigating the case.
