Robert Scheurich, 77, died from blunt force injuries, the coroner’s office said Monday.
His car was hit by a commuter train at about 11:45 a.m. where the tracks cross U.S. Route 14 at Hart Road, authorities said.
Scheurich was one of three drivers who were involved in an accident, and he was unable to drive his vehicle off the tracks before the train struck it, authorities said. Scheurich was transported to Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in critical condition, and he died Friday night, authorities said.
