2 teens on e-bike hurt in crash with SUV in Libertyville

Two 15-year-old girls riding an e-bike were injured, one critically, in a crash Tuesday night in suburban Libertyville.

Around 9:10 p.m., a man driving a gray Chevrolet Blazer northbound on Milwaukee Avenue was crossing Winchester Road on a green light when he collided with an electronic bike that was crossing Milwaukee Avenue just north of the intersection, Libertyville police said.

Both girls aboard the e-bike were taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center. One was transferred from there to Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago with life-threatening injuries, police said.

The crash is being investigated by the Libertyville Police Department and the Lake County major crash assistance team.
