From the Marengo Fire and Rescue Districts:
Cement Truck Rollover and Extrication Response
On Friday, May 8, 2026, at 10:56 a.m., the Marengo Fire & Rescue Districts and Union Fire Protection District responded to the intersection of Marengo Road and Seeman Road in unincorporated Union for a reported crash with entrapment.
While enroute, multiple 911 callers advised that the crash involved a semi-truck that had rolled over.
First arriving crews located a two-vehicle crash, with both vehicles off the roadway.
One of the vehicles, a ready-mix cement truck carrying a significant load of product, was found on its side.
The second vehicle, a minivan, sustained heavy damage to the driver’s side, trapping the adult male driver inside.
Firefighters worked quickly to remove the driver’s side door and free the driver, who was the sole occupant of the minivan.
The driver of the cement truck had self-extricated prior to crews arriving and was walking at the scene.
Both drivers were evaluated by paramedics on scene and subsequently transported to a local hospital for further medical care.
Due to the size and weight of the cement truck, heavy wreckers were requested to the scene for recovery operations.
The crash is being investigated by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office. Any additional questions regarding the investigation, including cause and contributing factors, should be directed to their agency.
