🎃 The only thing that should be lit this Halloween is your jack-o'-lantern!

Heading out for some spooky festivities? There's nothing wrong with enjoying a Halloween party, but if your plans include alcohol, make sure they also include a sober ride home.

Designate a driver, call a rideshare, or make arrangements to stay the night. Don't let a night of spooky fun turn into a real-life nightmare. 👻

🧟 Don't be a zombie behind the wheel!

Driving on autopilot? Glued to your phone? Not paying attention to what's happening around you?

Distracted driving is scary, and the consequences can be even scarier.

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands on the wheel, and your attention on driving. Don't let a moment of distraction turn into a nightmare!

Harvard Man Injured in Two-Vehicle Crash

An 18-year-old Harvard man sustained life-threatening injuries following a two-vehicle crash on Saturday, October 24, 2026.

At approximately 10:51 p.m., the McHenry County Sheriff's Office and Harvard Fire Protection District responded to a two-vehicle crash in the 9800 block of US Route 14 in Harvard.

Preliminary investigation indicates that a 2000 Honda Accord, driven by an 18-year-old Harvard man, was traveling southbound on US Route 14 when it crossed the center line and collided with a northbound 2010 Lexus RX350. The Honda then exited the roadway to the east and rolled over multiple times.

The driver of the Honda sustained life-threatening injuries and was flown to Javon Bea Hospital in Rockford. The driver of the Lexus, a 55-year-old Delavan, Wisconsin man, and two passengers, a 56-year-old male and a 62-year-old male, both of Delavan, Wisconsin, refused medical treatment at the scene.

Alcohol and speed are believed to be factors in the crash. The crash remains under investigation by the McHenry County Sheriff's Office Major Traffic Crash Investigation Unit.
