Five adults were injured in a two-vehicle crash on Route 23 in unincorporated Marengo on Sunday morning, briefly shutting down traffic in both directions and prompting an investigation by local authorities. According to officials, the collision occurred around 10:19 a.m. at the intersection of North Route 23 and River Road, an area that serves as a key connector for drivers traveling through McHenry County.
