A Machesney Park teen remains in serious condition at a Rockford hospital following a car vs mack truck head-on collision Tuesday afternoon on Route 38, just east of Creston.
18-year old Dylan Savage suffered head and arm injuries from the crash as he was transported by helicopter from the scene to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford.

The driver of the truck, 65-year old William West of Malta, received treatment for minor injuries at Kishwaukee Community Hospital in DeKalb and then released.
