According a preliminary investigation, police say a dark gray BMW M340i was going east on Lake Cook Road above the speed limit. A metallic brown Jeep Grand Cherokee, driven by the 69-year-old man, was pulling forward from a stop sign on Bloomington Ave., entering Lake Cook Road, when it was hit by the BMW on the driver's side, causing a 'T-bone-type impact.'
Police say the crash caused the Jeep to roll over several times before coming to rest on the westbound side of Lake Cook Road. A significant intrusion into the Jeep's driver's side door was reported.
Paramedics removed the 69-year-old man from the Jeep and immediately began life-support treatment.
Meanwhile, police say the driver of the BMW, an 18-year-old male from Deer Park, and two teenage passengers were evaluated by paramedics and refused further care. They were then picked up by family and self-transported for medical evaluation.

Palmdale man killed in Phelan crash, potential hit-and-run charge pending
A Palmdale man died over the weekend from injuries he suffered in a possible hit-and run collision between his SUV and a big rig in Phelan last week, authorities said. Aaron Graham, 37, of Palmdale died at Arrowhead Regional Hospital Medical Center in Colton on Saturday, according to California Highway Patrol officials and San Bernardino County coroner's records. The crash took place about 10:05 p.m. Thursday along eastbound Highway 138, just east of Gramercy Road. Graham was driving a BMW X7 SUV east along Highway 138 prior to the wreck, CHP officials said. A Freightliner tractor-trailer was traveling in front of the BMW. "For reasons still under investigation, the driver of the BMW crashed into the rear of the Freightliner's trailer," the agency said in a written statement. Graham was found unconscious inside his SUV and taken to a hospital by paramedics, where he remained until he succumbed to his injuries. Upon arrival, officers found the involved big rig had "fled the scene," according to the statement. Authorities found the big rig suspected to have been involved in the crash a short time later, just over a mile away along Hess Road. A man at the wheel of the truck, as well as another man riding as a passenger, were unhurt, according to the CHP. No arrests were made at the scene, but the investigation continued, including the possibility of a hit-and-run charge against the truck driver, officials added. Intoxicated driving was not suspected to be a factor.
