CHICAGO MAN CHARGED IN DOUBLE-FATAL CRASH
An early Wednesday morning crash on Lake Shore Drive left two young men, ages 20 and 21, dead. The man allegedly responsible for that crash is just 25 years old himself. The accident involved two cars. Police believe both vehicles were traveling at a high rate of speed and lost control and "bounced off each other and then bounced off the [cement] wall."
The accident occurred shortly after the rain began around 3:00 a.m. on Wednesday. Authorities believe the rain aggravated driving conditions and made the road slippery.
The lone survivor of the accident, a 25-year old resident of Chicago's Wrigleyville neighborhood, has been charged with one count each of misdemeanor driving under the influence, misdemeanor failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and misdemeanor operating a vehicle without insurance.
Less than 24 hours later, a second serious accident occurred in which an SUV traveling at a high-rate of speed crashed on Lake Shore Drive near Irving Park Road. The male driver and his female passenger were taken to Illinois Masonic in serious-to-critical condition.
