Two Drivers Hurt in Huntley Crash as Car Stops Feet From Pond

Police are investigating the cause after responders found no vehicles submerged.

Overview

  • Emergency crews responded around 9:45 a.m. to River Park Drive and Dell Webb Boulevard in Huntley, Illinois, for a two-vehicle collision.
  • The call initially came in as a possible water rescue, but officials said neither vehicle was submerged in the nearby retention pond.
  • One vehicle went down a hill and came to rest a few feet from the shore in ankle-deep water, while the other remained in the roadway.
  • Elderly women were driving both vehicles, and the minivan driver near the pond required minor extrication before transport.
  • Both drivers were taken to a hospital with minor-to-moderate, non-life-threatening injuries, and police said the investigation is ongoing.
