Man, 47, Dies Days After ATV Crash: Officials

HUNTLEY, IL — A 47-year-old Huntley man died Tuesday, two days after he was seriously injured in an ATV crash, according to the Lake County Coroner’s Office.

Huntley Fire Protection District and Huntley Police Department personnel responded at about 4:25 p.m. Sunday to the 11200 block of Myrtle Street for a report of an unconscious person following an ATV crash, according to the coroner's office.

First responders found a single-ATV crash and transported the operator, identified as 47-year-old Ty Barton of Huntley, to the helipad at Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries. Barton was then airlifted to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville for further treatment.

The Lake County Coroner’s Office was notified Tuesday evening that Barton had died in the hospital’s intensive care unit despite medical treatment, according to a news release.

A preliminary investigation indicates Barton’s death was consistent with blunt-force head injuries sustained in the crash, according to the coroner’s office.

The crash remains under investigation by the Huntley Police Department.
