Crystal Lake,IL : Families, friends mourn Hebron woman, Marengo man killed in weekend crash on January, Sunday 14th 2018

For Juan Castillo, the few days after a fatal crash in Hebron have given him little time to grieve as he takes care of two daughters who lost their mother.

“I have to stay strong for them, so our day is rolling like any other day,” Castillo said. “They cry out for their mom, but they don’t understand.”


Falynn Hironimus, 29, of Hebron and Jose Rodriguez, 42, of Marengo were pronounced dead at the scene of a car collision about 4:20 p.m. Sunday in the 7400 block of Route 47 in Hebron, McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Sandra Rogers said.

Autopsies completed Tuesday showed that Rodriguez died from blunt force trauma to the chest and Hironimus died from blunt force trauma to the head, neck, chest and abdomen, McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski said.

For the Rodriguez family, the past two days have been busy filled with trying to make funeral arrangements while still in the hospital, friend Antonio Ramirez said.

Rodriguez’s wife and his two children, ages 9 and 12, were passengers in a vehicle that was struck Sunday. The wife and one child were taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry in critical condition and later sent to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge. The other child was taken to Centegra Hospital – Huntley in stable condition, police said.
