The passenger in one of the vehicles was transported to an area hospital, where they were later pronounced dead. The driver of the vehicle, Mesadieu, was uninjured.

The driver and passenger of the second vehicle transported themselves to an area hospital with minor injuries.

It was determined during an investigation that high speeds led to the fatal crash.

Mesadieu was charged Tuesday and is being held at the Cook County Correctional Center with no bond.
