A 29-year-old man was flown by a Flight For Life helicopter to the hospital after a vehicle he was working on fell down and crushed him at a repair shop in Huntley, police said.
The Huntley Police Department and Huntley Fire Protection District responded around 3:45 p.m. Monday to R&R Truck Repair, 11414 Smith Drive, for a report of a technical rescue.
Huntley Deputy Police Chief Michael Klunk said that a 29-year-old man, who was working as an employee for the business, had been crushed underneath a vehicle.
The employee had been working on the vehicle when it fell on him. Other employees used a forklift to remove the vehicle off the man before firefighters arrived, Klunk said.
The man was transported by a Huntley ambulance to Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital where he was subsequently flown by a Flight For Life helicopter to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville.
Klunk said that the man’s condition was not immediately known. The incident remains under investigation by the Huntley Police Department.
