Lake County Sheriff’s Traffic Crash Investigators are investigating a car-versus-bicyclist crash that occurred around noon Saturday in unincorporated Libertyville.

On November 9, 2024, about 12:00 p.m., Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies and responded to a traffic crash involving a car and a bicyclist at the intersection of West Rockland Road and the Des Plaines River pedestrian/bicycle trail. Deputies arrived to find a 33-year-old man from Mundelein critically injured, and began CPR.




Preliminary investigation indicates the bicyclist was traveling northbound on the Des Plaines River Trail when he attempted to cross West Rockland Road. He was then struck by a westbound Toyota Prius, driven by a 39-year-old man from Gurnee. The impact appears to have thrown the bicyclist onto the vehicle’s front windshield before he fell to the ground.

The bicyclist was transported to a nearby hospital with critical, life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Toyota, as well as a child passenger, initially did not report injuries.




The Lake County Sheriff’s Office Technical Crash Investigations Team continues to investigate the incident.

The Speed Limit on Rockland Road is 25 MPH and is reduced to 20 MPH with the warning sign for the bike path intersection, according to Google Maps Street View images August 2024.
