CHICAGO (STMW) -- Five people were killed and at least two others badly injured in auto accidents over the long commemorative Day holiday weekend in the Chicago area.
The most distinguished of these was the death on Friday morning of 10-year-old Calvin Santos, who was walking between two parked SUVs in Rogers Park when the van that Martin Candia was driving supposedly slammed into one of the vehicles, pushing it forward and crushing the boy. The collide happened about 5:50 a.m. Friday.
Candia, 30, of Chicago, is facing crime charges that could send him to prison for up to 14 years.
