Long Grove Man Dies in I-90 Crash

Accident on I-90 near Arlington Heights Road kills Michael Raymond, 60, injures others

A Long Grove man died from injuries suffered during a five-vehicle accident Tuesday on I-90, near Arlington Heights Road.

Michael Raymond, 60, was driving his car eastbound on I-90 when a box truck struck the vehicle from behind, police authorities said.

The crash caused a chain reaction, and a total of five vehicles were involved in the accident on I-90, said Illinois State Trooper Michelle Kistulinec.

Raymond was taken to Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove, where he was pronounced dead, according to the Cook County Medical Examiners office.

The driver of the box truck was cited with improper lane usage and failure to reduce speed, Kistulinec said.

At least two others in other vehicles involved in the crash were transported to nearby medical centers.

Lanes on I-90 were closed for several hours as the Illinois State Police investigated the crash, she said. All lanes were reopened by 1:10 p.m.

Kill someone and only get a ticket for improper lane usage and failure to reduce speed!! A car is a 3k lb weapon when driven improperly.

Amen! And to think The Orchard Evangelical Free Church wants to raze 8 neighborhood homes to buildRead More a parking lot? Another loss of revenue for the village if these 8 homes get demolished.

I think that the police department does need a building. New national standards require separateRead More ventilation systems for prisoners to reduce unhealthy exposure. Also, new standards require "hardened" facilities to assure uninterrupted protection during emergencies. In addition, there are many more issues that after review seem reasonable. However, we don't need a new 71,000 square foot building which would rival in size, our current village hall - a building many call a Taj Mahal. The current process started on the wrong foot and wasted money. Three qualified consultants submitted bids and yet the contract was awarded to high-bidder. This has already wasted thousands of taxpayer dollars. Hopefully the new Board and Mayor will rein in the excessive spending and design. We have reason for hope. There is now a qualified and fiscally conservative architect on the Board. At the same time, it would nice to see if the Police could share some of the largely unused village hall. Doing so, would be a win-win for taxpayers.
