Driver Dies After His Car Leaves Road, Hits Vehicle Inside Garage

A 75-year-old Aurora man died Thursday (April 20, 2017) after his car left a rural road and crashed into a car parked inside an open garage.

Lloyd Manning of Tall Oaks Road in Aurora, was driving a Toyota Camry east on Molitor Road in unincorporated Aurora Township at around 4 p.m. Thursday, when the Camry left the road for an unknown reason, according to the Kane County Sheriff’s Office. The Toyota struck a Chevrolet Impala that was parked inside an open garage in the 1800 block of Elizabeth Drive, which intersects Molitor.

“It appears that the impact was only with the parked car inside the garage and not the building,” Kane County Sheriff’s Office Administrative Director Pat Gengler said in an email release.

Manning, who was the sole occupant of the Camry, was transported to an area hospital and pronounced deceased.

“It appears that the driver may have suffered an unknown medical emergency prior to the crash,” Gengler said.

Kane County sheriff’s deputies and investigators from the Kane County Accident Reconstruction Team are investigating the crash.
