Preliminary investigation revealed that the driver of a crashed 2003 Kia Sorento was likely being driven by a 29-year-old male of Silver Lake, Wisconsin.

At approximately 11:00 p.m., Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies located the driver hiding in a garage in the block of 42300 Willow Street, in unincorporated Antioch — about 2.3 miles southeast of the scene, traveling east on Wilmot Road and south on Lake Avenue to Willow Street.
