Woman, 90, Seriously Injured In McHenry Co. Crash

HEBRON, IL — A 90-year-old Hebron woman was seriously injured in a two-vehicle crash in unincorporated Hebron Township Thursday afternoon, authorities said.

The collision happened at about 12:20 p.m. when a 2014 Dodge Charger was headed south on Lange Road at Burgett Road and collided with a 2001 Subaru Legacy that was westbound on Burgett Road, according to a news release from the McHenry County Sheriff's Office.

A preliminary investigation by the sheriff's office shows the Subaru failed to stop at a stop sign prior to colliding with the Dodge, which did not have a stop sign, police said.

The driver of the Subaru, the 90-year-old Hebron woman, was taken by helicopter to Advocate Condell Medical Center where she is listed in serious condition. The driver of the Dodge, a man from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, was taken by ambulance to Northwestern Hospital in McHenry with minor injuries.

Both drivers were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash and drugs and alcohol are not believed to be a factor.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
