Reckless Driver On Plainfield Road Crashes Into 3 Different Cars: JPD

JOLIET, IL — A Joliet man in his late 40s, Kori Hood, was arrested on felony charges of DUI-drugs and reckless driving following his collisions with three separate vehicles on Plainfield Road early Sunday morning.

According to Joliet police spokesman Dwayne English, the following events led Joliet police to make Sunday's arrest of Hood:

At 12:22 a.m., Joliet police responded to the area of Plainfield Road and Massachusetts Avenue for a multi-vehicle crash with injuries.

Police said Hood was driving a Nissan Rogue northbound on Plainfield Road from Massachusetts Avenue in the inside lane at a high rate of speed.

Hood's Nissan Rogue then swerved into the southbound lanes of Plainfield Road, striking the driver’s side of a Toyota RAV4 driven by a 38-year-old Joliet woman going southbound on Plainfield Road.

Following this collision, police believe Hood's Nissan Rogue then struck the driver’s side of a Volkswagen Jetta driven by a 58-year-old Joliet man heading southbound on Plainfield Road.

As a result of this collision, the Volkswagen ended up over the curb and into a grass area on the west side of Plainfield Road.

The Nissan Rogue then struck the rear of a Nissan Sentra driven by a 26-year-old Bolingbrook man who was northbound on Plainfield Road, causing the Sentra to lose control and strike a fence on the east side of Plainfield Road.

Following this collision, Hood’s vehicle then flipped over to its final resting location in the roadway.

Hood was taken to Ascension St Joseph Medical by the Joliet Fire Department with a leg injury. The female driver of the Toyota was also transported to the hospital with minor injuries.

The occupants of the Volkswagen and Nissan were uninjured.

At the hospital, Joliet police said they developed information that Hood may be impaired by an unknown substance. Hood performed sobriety tests, and he was placed into custody and processed at the hospital, according to police.

Hood was also cited for Improper Lane Usage and Failure to Reduce Speed to
Avoid an Accident and the vehicle was towed from the scene, Joliet police said.
