A truck crashed into a building in downtown Barrington and fled the scene and then a police officer was involved in a crash responding to the call, officials said.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office responded last Wednesday to assist the Barrington Police Department following a crash involving one of their squad cars.
Lake County Sheriff’s Office Chief Christopher Covelli said the crash occurred around 8:55 a.m. at Route 14 and Lake Cook Road in Barrington.

An officer with the Barrington Police Department was operating an unmarked 2023 Dodge Charger.
The squad was traveling southeast on Route 14 just northwest of the Lake Cook Road intersection in the outside lane of traffic.
The police officer received an emergency call for service and activated the squad’s emergency lights, Covelli said.
