A woman was killed and two other people were injured in a head-on crash Thursday in north suburban Gurnee.

A 71-year-old man was driving a GMC east on Washington Street when it crossed the center line about 4:50 p.m. and collided with a westbound Toyota near Cemetery Road, according to a statement from Gurnee police.
