A man stationed at Naval Station Great Lakes was killed Sunday in a single-car crash on the base, the Lake County Coroner’s Office said Wednesday.
The coroner identified him as Makaio Bartley, 28. He was a California native who was stationed at the base, the coroner’s office said.
Bartley was driving on Ziegemeir Road at about 10:39 p.m. Sunday when his 2018 Honda Accord left the road, struck a guardrail and then ran into a concrete wall, authorities said.
Police and fire personnel from the base responded to the crash, but Bartley was pronounced dead at the scene, the coroner said.
The crash remains under investigation by naval authorities and the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
