From the Marengo Fire/Rescue Districts:
Multiple Injuries Reported in Two-Vehicle Crash
On Sunday, May 18, 2025, at 6:35 p.m., the Marengo Fire & Rescue Districts and the Union Fire Protection District responded to a reported crash with injuries at the intersection of S. Grant Highway and E. Coral Road in Marengo.
Crews arrived to find a two-vehicle T-bone style collision with moderate damage, with both vehicles located just south of the intersection.
Firefighters initially prepared for an extrication due to heavy passenger-side damage on the sedan, but the door detached without the use of rescue tools.
Due to the number of patients, the incident was upgraded and two additional ambulances were requested.
Two elderly occupants of the sedan were transported to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin with serious injuries.
Of the two adult male occupants in the pickup truck, one was taken to Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital with minor injuries, and the other declined medical attention.
The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the crash. All questions regarding the investigation, including contributing factors, should be directed to their office.
