A bicyclist was rushed to the hospital with apparent serious injuries after being involved in a crash with a vehicle in Barrington Hills Saturday morning.
The Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Police Department and Barrington Hills Police Department responded around 8:38 a.m. Saturday to the area of Haegers Bend Road and North River Road in Barrington Hills for a crash with injuries.
Fire officials said the crash involved a vehicle and a bicycle.
An adult riding on the bicycle was found injured when paramedics arrived.
Officers reported the bicyclist suffered a head injury after the crash with the SUV.
A medical helicopter was initially placed on standby and then requested to respond and land at St. Margaret Mary School in Algonquin.
The helicopter had an initial estimated time of arrival of 16 minutes.
Paramedics decided to rush the victim by ambulance to Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington instead of waiting for the helicopter.
Fire officials said no one else was injured in the crash besides the one victim, whose condition was not known.
The Barrington Hills Police Department, which is investigating the crash, said on Monday they had no information on the incident.
