Sheriffs Office investigates single vehicle fatal traffic crash

Scott M. Madda, 52, of Wauconda, was pronounced dead Saturday, June 20 at 7:40 p.m. at the scene of a single vehicle crash in unincorporated Crystal Lake. Preliminary investigation indicated that the 1932 Ford Roadster he was driving eastbound on the Route 176 bridge struck the southern bridge wall, then the northern bridge wall, causing the vehicle to roll over.

Scott was the sole occupant of the Ford, which was equipped with seat belts, but he was not wearing one at the time of the crash.

An investigation is ongoing by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Traffic Crash Investigations Unit and the McHenry County Coroner’s Office. Members of the Wauconda and Nunda Fire Protection District along with the Island Lake Police Department assisted at the scene.
