Illinois hit-and-run suspect captured after fleeing crash scene, sheriff says

LAKE CO., Ill. – The driver who allegedly caused a serious crash with injuries in north suburban Lake County on Friday was arrested after he fled the scene on foot, according to police.
The crash happened near the intersection of North Avenue and West Mawman Avenue in Beach Park around 3:30 p.m., the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said in a release.
What we know:
Gilberto Santiago Jr., 43, was driving a Mitsubishi Outlander southbound on North Avenue and veered into the southbound lane. His car hit a Nissan Versa, driven by a 70-year-old woman from Zion.
The crash caused the rear door to open, and the backseat passenger of the Mitsubishi to fall out of the car. The passenger was taken to an area hospital with serious injuries.
The driver of the Nissan was also taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
When deputies arrived at the scene, they learned that four of the five occupants of the Mitsubishi had fled on foot. They established a perimeter and searched for Santiago and the others.
With help from a Waukegan police K9 team and a Libertyville police drone operator, officers found Santiago and one of the other passengers. Both were uninjured. The other two individuals who fled were not found.
The sheriff’s office said Santiago appeared “heavily intoxicated” and was taken to the Lake County Jail.
He was charged with aggravated DUI, driving with a revoked license, aggravated DUI with a revoked license, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, and leaving the scene of an accident with injuries.
What’s next:
Santiago was expected to remain in jail pending an initial court hearing on Saturday.

Advocate will soon stop accepting some Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in Illinois

Advocate’s health group will soon stop accepting certain Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance plans in Illinois.
According to Blue Cross Blue Shield, Advocate Physician Partners will not be part of the insurance giant’s HMO Illinois network starting July 1, 2025.
An Advocate Health Care spokesperson confirmed the news to NBC Chicago, saying “certain providers will no longer participate in the BCBS HMO Illinois plan,” though the health system will “continue to work closely with Blue Cross and remain in network for a range of other Blue plans.”
The change won’t impact hospitals, according to the spokesperson.
“We will always act in the best interest of our patients, and we are committed to ensuring that any patient undergoing treatment maintains access to high-quality coordinated care,” the spokesperson said.
Blue Cross said Advocate will remain in its Blue Advantage HMO network, which is a more affordable health care plan.
According to the company, the following groups are among the Advocate partners leaving the BCBS HMO network this summer:
- Advocate Christ Hospital Physician Partners
- Advocate Condell Physician Partners
- Advocate Good Samaritan Physician Partners
- Advocate Good Shepherd Physician Partners
- Advocate Illinois Masonic Physician Partners
- Advocate Lutheran General Physician Partners
- Advocate Medical Group
- Advocate Medical Group West
- Advocate Sherman Physician Partners
- Advocate South Suburban Physician Partners
- Advocate Trinity Physician Partners
According to the Chicago Teachers’ Pension Fund, some residents began receiving letters in February about the change.
