1 killed, 3 injured in South Deering crash

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.

An autopsy ruled his death an accident, saying he died of multiple injuries from the collision.

Aguayo’s 26-year-old passenger was transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where they were listed in good condition, police said.

The man driving the Ford and his passenger were taken to the same hospital, both in good condition, according to police.

The crash appears to be alcohol-related, police said.

Chicago police’s Major Accidents Unit is investigating.
