Driver hurt in Barrington Hills:

A truck driver was taken to a hospital Tuesday morning after a crash in Barrington Hills, authorities said. Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District officials said oil and diesel fuel spilled on Route 59, between Route 68 and Dundee Avenue, when the semitrailer crashed. No other vehicles were involved. Fire Chief Jim Kreher said the oil and diesel fuel cleanup started immediately after the semi was removed and continued into part of Wednesday morning. Authorities said the rig left the roadway, and the driver exited the vehicle on his own. The driver suffered injuries that do not appear to be life-threatening, fire officials said.
