The driver of a vehicle involved in a head-on crash on Tuesday suffered injuries that were not considered life-threatening, a Woodstock Fire/Rescue District spokesman said.

Firefighters were called about 11 a.m. to respond to the 8200 block of Mason Hill Road in unincorporated Woodstock. When firefighters arrived, they found a passenger car and a truck had been involved in a head-on collision, district spokesman Alex Vucha said.

The adult female driver of the car was evaluated at the scene and taken to Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital with moderate injuries. Two adult males in the box truck told firefighters they were not injured, Vucha said.

Mason Hill Road was closed in both directions for about 25 minutes while firefighters were cleaning up the scene, Vucha said.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the crash.
