Fox Lake, IL (November 6, 2025) – Emergency crews responded to a two-vehicle collision that resulted in injuries on Wednesday, November 5, at the intersection of Nippersink Road and Wilson Road in Fox Lake. According to local authorities, the crash involved two passenger vehicles that collided within the intersection, prompting a swift emergency response from Fox Lake Police and Fox Lake Fire Protection District units.

Dispatch communications indicated that the accident occurred shortly after 3:30 p.m., with reports of at least one person trapped inside a vehicle. Firefighters used specialized equipment to assist in extricating the injured occupant while paramedics provided on-scene medical care. One or more victims were transported to a nearby hospital for additional treatment. The extent of their injuries remains undisclosed at this time.

Both lanes of Nippersink Rd were temporarily closed between Wilson Rd and Grass Lake Rd as emergency responders cleared debris and conducted preliminary investigations. Traffic in the area was diverted for nearly an hour, causing moderate congestion for evening commuters. Tow trucks later removed the damaged vehicles from the roadway, and normal traffic flow resumed once cleanup operations were completed.

We wish the injured parties and everyone involved in this incident a full and speedy recovery.
