A 35-year-old man was killed and three others injured in a vehicle crash early Wednesday in South Deering on the Far South Side.
About 12:30 a.m., a 35-year-old man was driving a Hyundai Sonata at a high speed in the 3300 block of East 100th Street when he lost control of the vehicle and struck a Ford Escape traveling westbound, Chicago police said.
Alejandro Aguayo, of Hammond, Indiana, died at the scene, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.
