Chopper 2 spotted the car several feet off the road a little after 4 p.m.
Crews were at the scene, including a large tow truck, usually reserved for semi trucks, but CBS 2's Kris Habermehl said they likely needed its large cable to retrieve the car.
Joseph Lullo, a 61-year-old resident of Elk Grove Village, died at the scene of the crash, according to the Will County Coroner's Office.
The crash is being investigated by the Illinois State Police.
