News Update:  A close call Wednesday afternoon for a 90 year-old man who lost control of his car on State Highway 142 in Kenosha County and landed in the Des Plaines River. Several men who'd been behind Richard Weiss saw the crash and sprung to action. 37 year-old Greg Drozdziak of Streamwood, Illinois said he and another man jumped onto the roof of the nearly-submerged vehicle but couldn't pry open a door. They eventually used a hammer to smash the car's sun roof and pull the man out, just as the water was starting to tickle his chin. Weiss was dazed, but apparently escaped serious injury.
