Harlem, IL : Huntley man killed in Kennedy Expressway crash on Friday morning, May 6, 2016

Illinois State Police have identified a man killed in a crash Friday morning on the Kennedy Expressway as 22-year-old Griffin Krewer of Huntley.

A preliminary investigation showed that about 7:30 a.m. a purple Dodge Caravan, driven by Krewer, was traveling south in the far right lane on the Kennedy Expressway at Harlem Avenue, according to a news release from the Illinois State Police.
