A 50-year-old motorist was killed Wednesday when the vehicle he was driving was fatally struck at an intersection on the city’s South Side, according to Chicago police.
The motorist was behind the wheel of a blue Mini Cooper when he was struck by a black Cadillac SUV traveling south in the 9200 block of South Stony Island Avenue around 10:40 a.m., police said.
The force of the collision forced the Mini Cooper into a nearby business, but no other injuries were reported, police said.
The motorist was taken to the University of Chicago medical center, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said. The Cook County medical examiner’s office confirmed the death, but only identified the victim as a Dolton resident. An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday.
The Cadillac’s driver was taken to the same hospital, where he was listed in good condition. The police Major Accident Investigation Unit is handling the crash.
