The Countryside Fire Protection District responded to a car accident at the intersection of Lakeview Parkway and North Fairway Drive in Vernon Hills on Monday afternoon. Residents reported that one vehicle had veered off the road and plunged into a nearby retention pond, with the driver still inside. Emergency crews from the Libertyville Fire Department and the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District quickly arrived on the scene, with divers dispatched to assist.
Witnesses said the driver managed to escape the submerged vehicle and was seen sitting on the roof as firefighters approached. With help from bystanders, the individual made it out of the water safely. Both drivers were taken to the hospital for evaluation, though they sustained only minor injuries.
Firefighters entered the pond to secure the SUV for removal by Ernie’s Wrecker Service. Divers used straps and equipment to stabilize the vehicle before it was winched out of the water. The incident drew attention from local media, with photographer Larry Shapiro capturing several images and a short video of the rescue operation.
One photo shows the SUV partially submerged in the pond, with its roof and luggage rack visible. Another image highlights the efforts of the Libertyville Dive Squad as they prepared to enter the water. Additional photos show the other vehicle involved in the crash, as well as the newly acquired dive team unit from the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District.
A final image captures the moment the SUV was pulled from the water, while another shows a firefighter cleaning his gear after the operation. The event underscores the importance of quick response and coordination among emergency services in such critical situations.
