A man was airlifted to the hospital after he was ejected from his SUV and trapped under it during a crash involving a semi-truck near Harvard Sunday afternoon.

The Harvard Fire Protection District and McHenry County Sheriff’s Office responded around 12:30 p.m. Sunday to Route 23 and Bunker Hill Road in Dunham Township for a vehicle crash with injuries.

The crash occurred just north of the intersection in front of 2304 Route 23, which is about four miles south of Harvard.

The accident involved a semi-truck carrying a tractor trailer and a Honda Element compact SUV, which went off the road and rolled over onto its roof.

Firefighters freed the man and a Flight For Life helicopter airlifted the driver of the SUV to Javon Bea Hospital – Riverside in Rockford. No one else was in the SUV and the driver of the semi-truck was uninjured.
