Police: Man Fled After Causing Fatal Crash

Chicago police have arrested a man who they say ran from the scene of a fatal collision last week on the city's South Side.

Wilson G. Jones, 27, of the 400 block of East Oakwood Bouldevard in Chicago, faces one count each of leaving the scene of an accident that caused injury or death, disobeying a red light, and failure to reduce speed. The first charge is a felony and the latter two are misdemeanors.

Police say Jones was driving westbound on 33rd Street around 1:50 p.m. on Friday when he ran a red light at South Indiana Avenue. He struck a 2014 Ford F150 pickup truck with the 2016 Ford cargo truck he was driving, according to the police report.

"Jones exited his vehicle at the scene of the collision and fled on foot," the report said. "The 37-year-old victim (in the F150) was transported to Stroger Hospital where he was later pronounced dead."

Jones was arrested on Sunday.
