An 80-year-old man died from injuries sustained in a two-vehicle crash Sunday morning in unincorporated Hampshire Township, according to the Kane County Sheriff's Office.
At around 9:06 a.m., deputies with the sheriff's office were called to the 45W100 block of Allen Road in regard to an accident with serious injuries, officials said in a news release. A preliminary investigation revealed a 1997 Ford F-150 traveling eastbound on Allen Road lost control, due to an icy roadway, slid into the westbound lane, striking a 2013 Toyota Prius that was traveling westbound, authorities said.
The driver of the Prius, William Granias, 80, of Huntley, was airlifted to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries and later pronounced dead. The driver and passenger of the F-150 were released at the scene, authorities said.
It remains unknown if drugs or alcohol were contributing factors in the crash.
