Unincorporated Antioch man, woman identified by Lake County Coroner in UTV crash

ANTIOCH, Ill. (WLS) -- A UTV crash left a man and a woman dead Tuesday night in unincorporated Antioch, the Lake County Sheriff's Office said.

The deceased have been identified as 56-year-old Brian Capaci and 50-year-old Jeanette Granger, both of unincorporated Antioch, by the Lake County Coroner's Office. The preliminary cause of death for both individuals was blunt force injuries from the crash.

Lake County Sheriff's Deputies arrived at approximately 9:45 p.m. W Dressel Rd and Douglas Ave in unincorporated Antioch and located a Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) that had crashed into a tree.

Capaci was driving the UTV and Granger was in the front passenger seat, sheriff's deputies said.

Both were pronounced deceased at the scene, sheriff's deputies said. Neither occupant was wearing a seatbelt or helmet, and both were partially ejected from the vehicle.

The UTV was traveling westbound on W. Dressel Rd, just west of Douglas Ave, sheriff's deputies said. For an unknown reason, the UTV veered off the south side of the roadway and struck a tree.

The Lake County Sheriff's Office Technical Crash Investigations Unit continues to investigate the crash, sheriff's deputies said.
