Woman airlifted and 9-month-old hurt after police say speeding car hit utility pole, tree, rolled over in Crystal Lake

Bystanders broke a window to pull a woman, who was later airlifted to the hospital, and a 9-month-old child from a rolled-over car after it hit a utility pole and a tree at a high rate of speed in Crystal Lake Friday afternoon. The Crystal Lake Police Department and Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department responded just after 3:20 p.m. Friday to Swanson Road between Alexandra Boulevard and Ackman Road in Crystal Lake for a report of a single-vehicle crash with injuries. A preliminary investigation showed a Toyota Camry was traveling northbound on Swanson Road from Miller Road at a high rate of speed when it left the roadway and struck a utility pole and a tree, Crystal Lake Police Department Deputy Chief Richard Neumann said. Dispatchers told responding crews the car was believed to have rolled over after hitting a pole and that people may have been trapped inside, according to fire department radio traffic.
