Two people were killed in a head-on crash Saturday night in Fremont Township along Fairfield Road, north of Route 60.
At about 9:05 p.m., Lake County sheriff’s deputies responded to a three-car crash. Officers determined a Ford E350 driven by a 51-year-old man was traveling southbound on Fairfield Road, north of Route 60, when he crossed the median into the northbound lanes and struck a Honda Odyssey driven by a 42-year-old man from Hainesville, according to a Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
The Ford then struck another vehicle headed northbound, a Kia Forte driven by a 56-year-old woman of Ingleside, officers said.
The driver and passenger of the Kia, a 64-year-old woman of Round Lake Beach, were pronounced dead at the scene, officers said.
The drivers of the Ford and Honda both have non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, officers said.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office Technical Crash Investigations Unit is investigating the cause of the crash.
