Chicago, IL – A Chicago woman has been arrested after a deadly rollover crash on I-94 claimed the life of one passenger and injured another.
According to the Illinois State Police, the crash occurred Friday on the I-94 northbound exit ramp to 130th Street in Chicago. Investigators say 27-year-old Daja S. Williams was driving when her vehicle rolled over, injuring herself and two passengers—one critically.
Authorities say the critically injured passenger, a 26-year-old man, later died from his injuries. The second passenger’s injuries were described as serious but not life-threatening.
On Sunday, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office approved charges against Williams, including one count of Aggravated Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol Causing Death, a Class 2 felony, and one count of Reckless Homicide, a Class 3 felony. She is currently being held in custody pending her first court appearance.
Police say Williams was allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash, though formal toxicology results have not been disclosed.
Authorities emphasized that the charges are allegations, and Williams is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
