Thieves steal Go Kart from 7-year-old Illinois boy
Police are searching for thieves who stole a Go Kart from a 7-year-old in Lake in the Hills.
McHENRY Co. - A northwest suburban 7-year-old boy is having to hit the brakes on his Go Kart racing career because thieves stole his expensive gear. My dream is to travel all over the world, said Grayson Dean Walcott, a competitive Go Karter who right now races across the country.
Grayson came home from racing in California last week to find his trailer – loaded with a Go Kart, kart parts, tools and memorabilia – missing. Someone stole the trailer from a private parking lot near Pyott Road and Imhoff Drive in Lake in the Hills.

One person was injured late Sunday when two vehicles collided in the intersection of Pyott Road and Jesse Road in Lake in the Hills and careened into nearby utility poles.
Officials from the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District said they were notified of the crash just before 10:15 p.m. Sunday.
Upon arrival, firefighters discovered the driver of one of the vehicles was trapped inside the car and need to be extricated. After removing the unidentified man from the vehicle, he was treated by paramedics and the scene and released.
The second driver, another unidentified man, was able to get out of his vehicle under his own power, and had been moved inside a nearby home. Paramedics transported that man to Northwestern Huntley Hospital with injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, fire officials said.
