A Chicago man died Sunday, two days after he was struck by a skid steer at an Illinois Tollway Authority facility in Gurnee, the Lake County Coroner’s Office said.
Gregory Bolls, 39, was struck by the piece of equipment Friday at about 7:30 a.m. at the tollway building, located along Interstate 94 near Grand Avenue.
According to the Illinois State Police, Bolls and another man, neither of whom was a tollway authority employee, were at the site to complete some contracted work. Bolls, the ISP said, walked into the path of the skid steer, which was being operated by the other man.
Bolls was brought to a hospital, and he died Sunday from his injuries, the Lake County Coroner’s Office said.
The state police said the incident remains under investigation.
