Authorities say three adults were seriously injured after a single-vehicle crash that left the car heavily damaged in Lake in the Hills Monday evening.
The Huntley Fire Protection District and Lake in the Hills Police Department responded around 9:44 p.m. Monday to the area of Haligus Road and Geneva Lane in Lake in the Hills for a vehicle crash with injuries.
Huntley Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Eric Bentley said the crash occurred just north of Geneva Lane on Haligus Road.
Firefighters found a single-vehicle crash with heavy damage to the vehicle.
Bentley said the car appeared to have left the roadway and struck a tree, coming to rest off of the roadway.
No one was trapped in the car and there were three occupants inside at the time of the crash, Bentley said.
Three ambulances, two fire department companies and a chief responded to the scene.
All three occupants, which consisted of two adult males and an adult female, suffered serious injuries, Bentley said.
The three were transported by ambulance to Northwestern Medicine Hospital in Huntley for treatment.
“We would like to remind motorists that seat belts save lives,” Bentley said. He added that it does not appear the victims were ejected from the car.
The Lake in the Hills Police Department is investigating the crash.
