A freight train slammed into a car Friday morning near Old Mill Road and Waukegan Road in Lake Forest, seriously injuring the driver—a man in his fifties—who was rushed to the hospital. The crash halted Metra service on the Milwaukee District North Line for hours, with delays lingering into the afternoon. Authorities suspect the driver may have intentionally been on the tracks, prompting police to urge anyone in crisis to seek help—through Lake Forest’s social worker, the 24/7 Lake County Crisis Care Program, or the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988. If danger is imminent, call 911.
