A 25-year-old man died Saturday afternoon in a crash in the Roscoe Village neighborhood on the North Side.

Oscar Valenzuela, of the West Lawn neighborhood, was a passenger in a 2003 Ford Escort driven by a 23-year-old woman that crashed into a parked vehicle then a tree an light pole about 4:10 a.m. in the 2100 block of Addison Street, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.
