One man was killed and another was critically injured in a single-vehicle crash Sunday near Antioch.
Lake County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the crash scene near North Avenue and Deep Lake Road about 10:45 p.m.
A 25-year-old Antioch man, who authorities said was driving a 2022 Ford F-350 pickup west on North Avenue, was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy is being scheduled by the Lake County Coroner’s Office.
A 27-year-old Antioch man who was a passenger in the pickup was taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in critical condition with injuries that were life-threatening, authorities said.
Investigators said the pickup was speeding when it left the road for unknown reasons, collided with several traffic signs, rolled multiple times and finally struck a tree.
Authorities said the driver exited the vehicle and then collapsed.
Alcohol appears to have been a factor in the crash, investigators reported.
The crash remains under investigation.
