The coroner has released the identity of a 29-year-old Waukegan man who died after his SUV drifted onto the center median and struck a concrete barrier in Green Oaks early Sunday morning. Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek identified the driver on Monday as Fernando Alvarado-Reyes, 29, of Waukegan. An autopsy was completed and preliminary results indicate Alvarado-Reyes died from blunt force injuries as a result of the crash, Banek said. The Libertyville Fire Department and Lake County Sheriff’s Office responded around 4:10 a.m. Sunday to the area of Route 137, also known as Buckley Road, just east of Interstate 94 in Green Oaks for a report of a single-vehicle crash with injuries. Fire department radio traffic indicated the crash was in the westbound lanes of Buckley Road at the ramp to northbound Interstate 94.
