Lake County Sheriff’s Crash Investigators are investigating an overnight hit-and-run traffic crash involving an unknown vehicle and a motorcycle.
Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies responded about 3:10 a.m., Sunday, July 19, 2025 to a report of a personal injury crash at Route 173 near Crawford Road, Old Mill Creek. When sheriff’s deputies arrived, they found the driver of a 1993 Kawasaki Ninja, a 54-year-old McHenry man, with serious injuries.
A preliminary investigation shows the driver of the Kawasaki motorcycle was traveling eastbound on Route 173, when he was struck from behind by an unknown vehicle. This caused the driver of the Kawasaki to lose control and crash. The driver of the Kawasaki sustained serious injuries, and was transported to an area hospital. His injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening.
Crash investigators recovered car parts from the offending vehicle at the scene, which they are examining, to try and determine the make/model of car that involved in the crash before the driver fled.
The crash incident is under investigation by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Technical Crash Investigations Team.
