A man has been charged with DUI and remains in critical condition following a rollover crash that left another man dead and a woman seriously injured early Sunday morning near Woodstock.

The Woodstock Fire/Rescue District and the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office responded around 2:03 a.m. Sunday to Charles Road west of Queen Anne Road in Greenwood Township, which is just outside of Woodstock, for a single-vehicle crash.

McHenry County Sheriff Deputy Sandra Rogers said that a 2019 Toyota Camry was traveling westbound on Charles Road when it drove off the north side of the roadway for unknown reasons.

The Toyota then struck a pole and a tree before rolling over onto its side, Rogers said.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office said that Shawn Brautigam, 32, of Wheaton, was driving the Toyota and was flown by a Flight For Life helicopter to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville where he remains in critical condition.
