If you’ve been paying even the slightest attention, you might have noticed a seemingly high number of horrible crashes in Kane County in the past couple of weeks.
On Aug. 21, officials said an investigation indicates a Maple Park man was killed when the motorcycle he was driving westbound on Keslinger Road was hit by a car driven by a 16-year-old girl from Sugar Grove as she was exiting the parking lot of Kaneland High School at the end of the school day.
The following day, yet another fatal crash occurred at the intersection of Walker Road and Route 72 in Hampshire, where it took first responders an hour to extract the deceased driver of one vehicle and the critically injured passenger of a second vehicle, officials said. While these crashes have all been in different locations and were caused by different reasons, they were “mostly due to the lack of awareness or attention to the surroundings of the drivers,” he said. And even if there had been deputies “on every corner of the county, most of these crashes would’ve still occurred.”
Referring to the fatal accident outside Kaneland, he said that for more than four years his department has been delivering “a constant message” about the dangers of the roads near the school, and has also provided overtime details that help direct traffic during those peak morning and afternoon hours.It doesn’t help, he said, that civil engineering has not kept up with the amount of traffic on Kane County’s roads.
