CICERO, IL – According to FOX 32, a suspected impaired driver fatally collided with another vehicle on the 5200 block of 16th St on Friday.

Raul Pedroza, 31, was driving a gray Toyota east on 16th St at high speeds when he lost control of the vehicle and strayed into oncoming traffic. At around 12:51 a.m., he collided head-on with a gray Mazda driven by Fernando Calderon, 30.

Rescue crews pronounced Calderon dead at the scene and transported Pedroza, Pedroza’s passenger, and Calderon’s three passengers to area hospitals with critical injuries.

Authorities determined Pedroza was driving drunk at over twice the legal limit. They charged Pedroza with one count of reckless homicide, aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, and improper lane usage.

The West Suburban Major Crimes Task Force is investigating the incident.
