Coroner identifies man killed in crash near McHenry

Emergency light

The McHenry County Coroner’s Office identified a man killed in a crash Tuesday near McHenry.

The coroner’s office said Wednesday afternoon that the man was Terrence Hivon, 77, of McHenry.

The coroner’s office said it was contacted about 1 p.m. Tuesday by Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital. Hivon was taken to the hospital in critical condition after the crash, and the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday that he died at the hospital.

A 32-year-old Wonder Lake woman and two children were injured and taken to the hospital in the crash.

The sheriff’s office said the woman was driving a Ford Explorer heading north on Ringwood Road and Hivon’s car was traveling south on Ringwood Road. Hivon’s car entered the northbound lane and “struck the Explorer head-on.”

An autopsy for Hivon is scheduled for Thursday, the coroner said.
