Jorge A. Castillo Obituary – During the early hours of the morning on DuSable Lake Shore Drive, a tragic incident occurred resulting in the death of one man and the injury of another. According to authorities, at approximately 12:15 a.m. in the 3100 block of North DuSable Lake Shore Drive, a 20-year-old man was driving northbound when he veered off course in order to avoid colliding with another vehicle. Unfortunately, this maneuver caused the driver to collide with a curb and subsequently a light pole, bringing the vehicle to a halt.
Regrettably, the 25-year-old male passenger in the car was unable to survive the impact and was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. The Cook County medical examiner later identified him as Jorge A. Castillo from Des Plaines. The driver of the vehicle was also taken to a hospital and is currently in fair condition, according to the police.
Thankfully, no other individuals sustained any injuries as a result of this incident. The Chicago police Major Accidents Unit has initiated an investigation into the matter to determine the circumstances surrounding the collision.
