One Dead in Deerfield Crash Involving Tribune Truck

A driver died after an SUV and a Chicago Tribune box truck collided shortly after midnight on November 9 in Deerfield, a northern suburb of Chicago. Police said the crash occurred in the 1100 block of Waukegan Road. They have not said which vehicle the victim was driving, and the victim’s name has not been released.

The collision left the SUV with severe damage to its front end. Emergency crews and investigators worked at the scene for several hours, clearing debris and processing the area. The roadway was closed during that work and reopened to regular traffic early Monday morning.

Police are investigating what caused the vehicles to collide. The Lake County Coroner’s Office is assisting with the investigation and is working to identify the victim and establish the official cause of death. Authorities have not said whether anyone else was injured or whether citations or criminal charges will follow.
