Sheriff’s Office Investigates Serious Injury Traffic Crash

A 60-year-old Marengo man was injured following single motorcycle crash on Marengo Road, east of Seeman Road, in unincorporated McHenry County. 

On Sunday September 15, 2024, at 12:29 a.m., members of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and Huntley Fire Department responded to a crash in the 14700 block of Marengo Road involving a motorcycle, which resulted in serious injury to the driver.   

Preliminary investigation indicates that a 1993 Harley Davidson Cruiser was traveling westbound on Marengo Road. The motorcycle exited the roadway to the left and traveled in the ditch for a significant distance. The driver was located in the ditch, with the motorcycle partially on top of him.  

The driver was transported to Northwestern Medicine in Huntley and was later transported via Lifenet to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville. He is listed in critical condition. 

The driver was not wearing a helmet, and alcohol is believed to be a factor of the crash.  

The investigation is ongoing and is being investigated by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Major Traffic Crash Investigation Unit.
