A man has been charged for a fatal wrong-way collision on I-290 near Wolf Road on Sunday

HILLSIDE, IL – According to ABC 7, a man has been charged for a deadly wrong-way collision that occurred at I-290 eastbound and North Wolf Road Sunday morning.

Saul Alba, 42, was allegedly driving a black Chevrolet truck west in the eastbound lanes of I-290 when he collided with a 2006 silver Mitsubishi Lancer operated by Andy Orozco, 61, around 4:15 a.m.

Alba then struck a 2024 white Jeep Wagoneer driven by a 60-year-old man and a 1987 red Mazda RX7 driven by a 24-year-old man.

First responders transported Alba and Orozco to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries, where Orzoco died.

Crews also took the Wagoneer driver to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The Mazda driver was not hurt in the collision.

Authorities charged Alba with Aggravated Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol Involving Death.

The Illinois State Police is investigating the incident.
