A tragic vehicle incident occurred on the Northwest Side of Chicago Wednesday night, resulting in a fatality. As reported by the Chicago Sun-Times, a 45-year-old man was driving on the 6800 block of West Devon Avenue around 11:10 p.m. when his vehicle collided with three parked, unoccupied vehicles.
The collision caused severe trauma to the body of the driver, who was then transported to Lutheran General Hospital. Despite the swift response and medical care, the driver was pronounced dead shortly upon arrival. This fatal sequence of events unfolded in Norwood Park, a neighborhood not unaccustomed to the silence of night being shattered by sirens.
Area Five detectives have taken the helm of this investigation, searching for the auguries hidden within the wreckage and testimony, as WGN-TV notes. Details about what may have precipitated the accident or the identity of the deceased have not been released; this information remains gripped on the tight cusp of ongoing investigative work.
