Elburn, IL : Man dies, 2 others injured in SUV rollover crash in Kane County early Saturday, August 6, 2016

A single-vehicle traffic crash in Kane County west of Elburn early Saturday killed one person and left two others injured, police said.

David Drewes, 35, of St. Charles, a passenger in an SUV that rolled over near Fabris Road and Illinois Route 64, was pronounced dead on the scene a little after 2 a.m., the Kane County sheriff's office said in a news release.

Deputies responded to a report of a traffic crash with injuries in unincorporated Virgil Township about 2:10 a.m., according to the release. They found that a 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan sport utility vehicle traveling east on Route 64 had failed to navigate a curve on Route 64 and left the highway on the south side of the road.

The SUV rolled over and it appears that the driver and Drewes, the front seat passenger, may have been ejected from the vehicle after not wearing seat belts, according to the release. The back-seat passenger was wearing a seat belt and was not ejected.

The driver, a 39-year-old man from Maple Park, was taken to Kishwaukee Hospital but later flown to Rockford Memorial Hospital with serious injuries. A 36-year-old woman from Maple Park, who is Drewes' sister and the driver's wife, was sitting in the back seat and was taken to Kishwaukee Hospital with minor injuries.

The crash is under investigation by sheriff’s deputies. No citations have been issued and deputies have not ruled out the possibility that alcohol played a role, according to the release.

Route 64 was closed between Peplow and Fabris roads for about three hours while the crash was investigated.
