The Three-Vehicle Crash Near Harnish Drive
Officers and the local fire protection district responded at 1:27 p.m. to Randall Road at Harnish Drive. Three vehicles sat in the left-turn lane for northbound traffic, lined up to turn onto westbound Harnish Drive. A gray Toyota hatchback was stopped first in line, with a blue Mercedes utility behind it.
Police said a black Honda sedan entered the turn lane and struck the back of the Mercedes, and police said the Mercedes was then pushed into the Toyota. The Mercedes driver and the Honda driver were taken to a hospital, and police said neither had life-threatening injuries. The Mercedes driver was released, while the Honda driver remained hospitalized late Wednesday morning.
What Algonquin Police Have Said So Far
Algonquin police said charges are pending against the Honda driver, a 71-year-old man from Crystal Lake. Northbound Randall Road was cut down to a single lane near the intersection. The lane closure lasted about 45 minutes after the crash.
Vehicles from a serious crash are often towed to a secure lot and held for inspection. That is a standard step, and the vehicles can be held for weeks.
