SHARE Woman killed, two injured in crash near Grayslake

A woman was killed and two other people were hospitalized after a four-vehicle crash in unincorporated Warren Township near north suburban Grayslake on Monday afternoon.

About 1 p.m., a landscape truck with a trailer going eastbound in the 18200 block of Route 120 crossed the center line and sideswiped a dump truck coming from the other direction, according to a statement from the Lake County sheriff’s office.

The landscape truck kept going after the initial collision, striking a westbound Honda Civic and Ford van, sheriff’s police said.

The driver of the Honda, 43-year-old Heidi Bauer of Gurnee, was killed, police said.

The 20-year-old man driving the landscape truck and 49-year-old man driving the dump truck—both Round Lake Beach residents—were taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, police said. Their conditions weren’t immediately known.

The 18-year-old Grayslake man driving the van and a 48-year-old Round Lake Park man riding as passenger in the landscape truck were treated at the scene, police said.

No citations or charges had been issued as of  Tuesday afternoon.
