A 65-year-old man was killed after being ejected from his car following a two-vehicle crash that left a second driver with serious injuries in Zion Tuesday evening.
The Zion Fire Department and Zion Police Department responded around 10:03 p.m. Tuesday to 9th Street and Green Bay Road for a vehicle crash with injuries.
Zion Police Lt. Derek Zaloudek said a two-vehicle crash occurred in the intersection.
A gray 2023 Chevrolet Corvette, driven by a 65-year-old man, was traveling westbound on 9th Street.
Zaloudek said the Chevrolet entered the intersection at Green Bay Road without yielding to oncoming traffic at the stop sign.
The Chevrolet collided with a white 2024 Cadillac XT4, driven by a 60-year-old man.
The Cadillac had been traveling southbound on Green Bay Road at the time.
Zaloudek said the 65-year-old driver of the Chevrolet was ejected from his vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Cadillac was transported by ambulance to an area hospital with serious injuries.
Police shut down a portion of Green Bay Road and part of 9th Street for several hours into early Wednesday morning for the crash investigation.
The identity of the deceased driver is being withheld by the Lake County Coroner’s Office until an autopsy has been completed and his family has been notified.
The crash remains under investigation by the Lake County Major Crash Assistance Team and the Zion Police Department.
