This morning, a devastating collision occurred between a tractor-trailer and a tractor-dump combination on Route 22 in Long Grove. According to reports from the Lake County News Sun, a tragic accident unfolded when a semi-truck crashed into a dump truck around 8 a.m.
As described by Lake County Sheriff’s office spokeswoman Sgt. Sara Balmes, the incident happened as the 2005 semi-truck, which was traveling east on Route 22 near Krueger Road, veered into the westbound lanes. Despite the dump truck driver's efforts to avoid the collision, the two vehicles ended up on the road's shoulder. Unfortunately, the driver of the semi-truck was tragically killed after being pinned inside the cab for approximately half an hour. Emergency responders managed to extricate him and rushed him to Advocate Condell Medical Center, but he succumbed to his injuries. Meanwhile, the driver of the dump truck sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital.
