Two drivers are under investigation for driving under the influence of alcohol after a fatal crash.
On Sunday, around 1:50 a.m. officers from the Oak lawn Police Department investigated a fatal crash involving four cars. Investigators say the Charger and Accord were both traveling south on Cicero Avenue at high rates of speed when the Charger hit the rear of a Lincoln that was also traveling south on Cicero, forcing the Lincoln into the northbound lanes near 110th Street, where it struck the Ram pick-up truck head-on, killing a female passenger in the Lincoln.
The driver of the Honda Accord, and only occupant, was transported to Christ Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Dodge Charger, and only occupant, was taken into custody at the scene. Both are currently under investigation for driving under the influence of alcohol, according to police. Cicero Avenue will be shut down in all directions from 105th Street to 111th Street while the Oak Lawn Police Traffic Division and Illinois State Police investigate the crash.
The name of the deceased victim will not be released pending notification to family. The names of the two drivers currently in custody will not be released until formally charged.that I have read and agree
