CHICAGO, IL – Authorities responded to a collision early Thursday in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood that claimed the life of a 25-year-old man, reports WGN9.

The fatal accident took place in the 3100 block of North DuSable Lake Shore Drive at about 12:15 a.m.

According to preliminary details, a 20-year-old was behind the wheel of a vehicle traveling northbound when he swerved in an attempt to avoid a crash with a second vehicle. The maneuver caused him to crash his vehicle into a curb and a light pole. ‘

The 25-year-old man, a Des Plaines resident who was a passenger in the striking vehicle, was rushed to Northwestern Hospital where he died from his injuries.

First responders also transported the 20-year-old driver to the hospital where he was listed in fair condition.

No charges or any other information have been reported at this time, but an investigation by the Major Accidents Unit remains ongoing.
