A 40-year-old Johnsburg woman died following a single-vehicle crash that took place about midnight Monday in the 5700 block of Fox Lake Road northwest of Fox Lake, the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office said.

The driver and sole occupant of the Corolla was not wearing her seat belt and died at the scene, according to the release. The Corolla’s front airbags deployed during the crash.
The investigation is ongoing by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Major Crash Investigation Unit and the McHenry County Coroner’s Office.
