The impact caused the white Infiniti to jump the curb, striking Cerney. Emergency responders transported him to Advocate Christ Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
After hitting Cerney, the white Infiniti crashed into an airport hangar, further intensifying the scene. A witness, who was involved in the crash, described the moment of impact, stating that their vehicle was sideswiped, airbags deployed, and they suddenly saw a person being thrown.
The driver of the white Infiniti was hospitalized in fair condition, while his female passenger was also transported for medical evaluation, though her condition remains unclear. The driver of the black Infiniti was unharmed but taken to a hospital as a precaution, and his passenger was uninjured. The Nissan driver declined medical treatment.
Authorities continue to investigate the incident, and no citations have been issued at this time.
