A teenager hospitalized after a weekend crash in Virgil Township remains in critical condition, a hospital spokeswoman said Monday.

Kevin McKenna, 19, of Elk Grove Village was taken to Delnor-Community Hospital in Geneva after the Friday evening crash.

He remained there Monday evening, a spokeswoman said.

Carrie Hilliker, 18, of Bradley died Friday night after she was airlifted to Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove.

Sheriff’s police said Hilliker was the driving a Toyota Corolla north on Meredith Road when she pulled through the intersection onto Route 38.

The Corolla then was struck by a Mitsubishi Gallant, and then it was hit again by a semi truck, police said. The other drivers were treated on the scene.

Although the crash remains under investigation, no citations were issued, and drugs and alcohol do not appear to be a factor, police said.

The crash marks the third at that intersection in recent months. Two crashes occurred in July and left several injured, and a St. Charles police officer later died from his injuries.
