A 35-year-old Chicago man died early Friday after a two-car collision in Forest View, authorities said.
Angel Colin, a U.S. Marine veteran, was pronounced dead at a local hospital following the crash at 47th and Central Avenue around 1:10 a.m., the Forest View Police Department said.
Officers arriving at the scene found Colin lying near the damaged vehicles. An off-duty emergency medical responder who stopped at the scene administered emergency care before paramedics transported him to the hospital.
The driver of the other vehicle is in police custody. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and the WESTAF Major Crimes Accident Reconstruction Team processed the scene. Search warrants are pending as investigators work to determine the exact circumstances.
Colin lived on the 3900 block of Campbell Avenue in Chicago.
“On behalf of Village President David Liska, and the Forest View Police Department, we extend our sincere condolences to the Colin family,” Police Chief Jim Ritz said.
