The coroner’s office has identified a 58-year-old man who died after he was believed to have suffered a medical emergency and crashed his pickup truck near Harvard Wednesday.

The Harvard Fire Protection District and McHenry County Sheriff’s Office responded around 7:50 a.m. Wednesday to the area of Route 173 and Reese Road in unincorporated Harvard for a vehicle crash.

Fire crews arrived to find a single-vehicle crash with a sole occupant, according to Harvard Fire Chief John Kimmel.

The male driver was unconscious and not breathing.

McHenry County Chief Deputy Coroner Olivia Zednick identified the driver on Friday as Bryan Grelyak, 58, of Harvard.

Kimmel said the Ford had been traveling southbound on Reese Road and went through the intersection at a low speed.

The pickup truck sustained minor damage after it ended up in the ditch and tree line.

Paramedics began performing lifesaving measures on the victim and requested Mercyhealth MD-1 and a REACT medical helicopter, Kimmel said.

The helicopter and MD-1 were canceled and Grelyak was transported by ambulance to Mercyhealth Harvard Hospital.

Grelyak was pronounced dead at the hospital after arriving, Kimmel said. No other vehicles were involved in the incident.

The incident resulted in only a brief road closure. The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is investigating.
