The driver was transported to Level I Trauma Center Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville with serious injuries.
Preliminary investigation shows a 2001 Jaguar X, driven by a 41-year-old Waukegan man, was traveling northbound on Route 41, just north of Kilbourne Road, when it went off the roadway and struck at least one tree .
The Lake County coroner’s office responded to the scene, and an autopsy for the passenger is scheduled for Monday.
