Crash in McHenry hospitalizes 2

McHENRY – A McHenry resident and her passenger were transported to Northern Illinois Medical Center on Tuesday evening after a collision at 3705 W. Elm St. in McHenry.

Jacqueline D. Meyer, 46, was headed west on Route 120 in a Ford Escort when she tried to turn left into the Sullivan Foods parking lot just before 5 p.m. The Escort was struck by a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Eric W. Kanter, also of McHenry. Kanter was eastbound on Route 120 in the right lane.

A 9-year-old girl who was in the backseat of Meyer’s car suffered head injuries, and Meyer suffered a neck injury, police said. A McHenry Township Fire Protection District crew took both to the McHenry hospital. Kanter, 43, was not injured. The condition of Meyer and the passenger were not available from the hospital Tuesday night.

McHenry police Sgt. Robert Lumber said Meyer would be charged with failure to yield while turning left.
