CRYSTAL LAKE – An infant was burned late Sunday afternoon during a cooking accident, police said. The injury occurred about 4 p.m. Sunday in a home on the 200 block of Dartmoor Drive. The baby experienced “significant burns on various parts of their body” after having hot food spilled on them, said Crystal Lake Deputy Chief Derek Hyrkas. “We are looking into the circumstances but don’t believe this was anything more than a tragic accident,” he said. Hyrkas said Monday that the baby is alive but he doesn’t know their condition. Flight for Life transported the baby from the parking lot of Crystal Lake South High School to a trauma facility.
