Police identify 56-year-old woman who died in Holiday Hills crash

A 56-year-old McHenry woman died in Holiday Hills June 3 when a car struck two motorcycles, causing the riders to be ejected from the bikes, according to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

Police identified the woman as Victoria Miller, whose autopsy revealed she died from multiple traumatic injuries from the crash, Lake County Coroner Howard Cooper said. Miller’s toxicology report is pending.

Authorities responded 7:26 p.m. June 3 to the 2300 block of South River Road for a three-vehicle crash involving a 2017 Acura TLX, a 2003 Harley-Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy Motorcycle and a 2005 Harley-Davidson Trike that had crashed on South River Road north of Sunset Drive.

The Acura was traveling north on South River Road, according to authorities. For unknown reasons, the Acura, driven by a 20-year-old McHenry woman, went into the southbound lane of traffic, where it struck both motorcycles, causing the riders to be ejected from the bikes, police said.

The driver of the 2003 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, a 65-year-old Lake in the Hills man, was flown to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where he remains in critical condition.

The driver of the 2005 Harley-Davidson, Miller, was taken to Advocate Condell, where she later was pronounced dead.

A rider on the 2005 Harley-Davidson, a 9-year-old juvenile from Louisiana, was taken to Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital with serious injuries. The drivers of the motorcycles were not wearing helmets, but the rider was, police said.

The driver of the Acura did not suffer any injuries.

That area of the roadway was closed for about six hours. The investigation continues by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Major Crash Investigation Unit, Holiday Hill Police Department and the Lake County Coroner’s Office.
