Fox River Grove woman killed in 3-vehicle crash in Barrington Hills

The crash happened Wednesday along Bateman Road

P.H. Miller School in Plano was placed on a soft lockdown for a short time Tuesday afternoon while a warrant was being served in the neighborhood adjacent to the school.

Authorities on Thursday identified Sylvia M. Anderson of Fox River Grove as the woman killed in a crash involving a semitrailer truck and two passenger vehicles Wednesday afternoon in Barrington Hills.

Police said Anderson, 74, was driving a 2016 Lexus south on Bateman Road about 12:11 p.m. when it entered the intersection with Algonquin Road and struck the side of the semi truck traveling east.

The impact sent the Lexus into the westbound lane of Algonquin Road, where it collided with a 2016 Ford F350 pickup truck, police said.

Anderson was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The Cook County medical examiner has scheduled an autopsy for Thursday.

The semitrailer truck driver, a 41-year-old Calumet City man, and the pickup truck driver, a 49-year-old Crystal Lake man, were not injured, police said.

The crash remains under investigation by Barrington Hills police and the Lake County Major Crash Assistance Team.
