The 33-year-old Paddock Lake man was processed for an OWI investigation after being transported to St. Catherine's Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. 

The driver of the Kia, a 25-year-old man from Antioch, Illinois, was traveling eastbound and advised deputies he swerved into the westbound lane of traffic in an attempt to avoid striking a deer. He was not injured. 

Both vehicles sustained severe damage and both drivers received citations as a result of the crash.
