An Oregon man died from his injuries after a two-vehicle crash on Monday afternoon north of Grand Detour, according to an Ogle County Sheriff’s Office news release.

At 12:59 p.m. Monday, deputies were dispatched to a two-vehicle crash with injuries in the 7000 block of South Ridge Road.

During the investigation, it was determined a southbound gray 2010 Chrysler Town and Country crossed the center line and struck the front driver’s side of a white 2012 Ford F450 box truck traveling north, according to the release. The driver of the Ford was treated at the scene and later sought treatment for minor injuries. The driver of the Chrysler, Anthony J. Frey, 32, of Oregon, suffered serious injuries as a result of the collision and was declared dead at the scene, according to the release.

Deputies were assisted on scene by the Dixon Rural Fire Department/EMS and the Oregon Fire Department/EMS. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, according to the release. No charges relating to the crash had been filed as of Tuesday morning.

Ridge Road was closed between Edgewood and Penn Corner roads for about three hours because of the crash before it was reopened.
