Driver in Fatal 290 Crash Faces Reckless Homicide, DUI Charges
Miguel Rico, 20, is charged with reckless homicide and aggravated DUI for a crash that killed two young women near Oak Park over the weekend.
A 20-year-old Chicago man faces aggravated DUI and reckless homicide charges for a wrong-way crash on I-290 that killed two young women and seriously injured a third early Saturday, Oak Leaves reports.
Miguel Rico is being held at Cook County Jail on $4 million bond.
Rico, who had a blood-alcohol level that more than doubled the legal limit Saturday, had also been wanted on a warrant for a probation violation in a 2011 drug case, according to Oak Leaves.
Killed were Monica Hernandez, 20, of Maywood, and Briana Resto, 19, of Northlake.
Rico is scheduled to appear in court on Friday, Sept. 13.
