Fatal Beach Park crash death of Omar Gutierrez – Obituary
Omar Gutierrez, an 18-year-old from Waukegan, has been identified as the victim of a tragic five-vehicle crash that occurred late Saturday night in Beach Park. The accident took place around 11:45 p.m. near the intersection of Lewis Avenue and Leland Avenue.
According to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, a 21-year-old man from Zion was driving a Toyota Avalon southbound on Lewis Avenue when he failed to slow down for stopped traffic. This led to a collision with a Dodge Journey and a Nissan Sentra before the Toyota crossed into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with Gutierrez’s Chevrolet Malibu.
Gutierrez was transported to the hospital but unfortunately succumbed to blunt force injuries from the crash. The driver of the Toyota sustained minor injuries, while a 17-year-old boy from Waukegan, who was a passenger in the Toyota, was hospitalized with serious injuries. Additionally, a 29-year-old man driving the Dodge Journey suffered minor injuries, while the 27-year-old woman driving the Nissan Sentra was unharmed. A northbound Ford Edge was also damaged by debris but managed to avoid direct involvement in the crash.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office Technical Crash Investigations Team is currently investigating the incident.
