A 33-year-old man was killed in a rollover crash early Tuesday in the western suburbs.

A white Cadillac CTS was heading south on Meredith Road near McNulty Road in unincorporated Virgil Township about 3:40 a.m. when the car crossed over into the northbound lane, went off the road and struck a culvert, according to the Kane County sheriff’s office.

The car rolled over several times before coming to rest on its roof.

The driver, 33-year-old Rolando Tecaxco-Cuamani, was still in the car when authorities arrived and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the sheriff’s office. He lived in the 800 block of Liberty Street in Aurora.

A nearby resident heard a loud noise, looked outside and saw the car flipped over, but did not actually witness the crash, according to the sheriff’s office.

The road remained closed until about 7 a.m. The sheriff’s office is continuing to investigate.

Why did Harry Caray always say ‘Holy Cow?’ It could be linked to a 1930s flying bovine. No bull!
In 1930, a 15-year-old Harry Caray was living in St. Louis when the city hosted an aircraft exhibition honoring aviator Charles Lindbergh. “The ‘first ever’ cow to fly in an airplane was introduced at the exhibition,” said Grant DePorter, Harry Caray restaurants manager. “She became the most famous cow in the world at the time and is still listed among the most famous bovines along with Mrs. O’Leary’s cow and ‘Elsie the cow.’”
