Michael Crowley, 54, of DeKalb, who was sitting in the back of the work van, was taken to AMITA Health Saint Joseph Hospital in Elgin, where he died Thursday, Hain said.

The woman, who police have not identified, also died Thursday at Saint Joseph Hospital, the sheriff said.

A 19-year-old man was taken to another hospital with minor injuries, while a 51-year-old man driving the van was not injured, according to police.

Hain said the crash may have been caused by “blowing and drifting snowy roadway conditions.”
