Driver charged with aggravated DUI in fatal Bensenville crash
DuPage County Judge Margaret O'Connell ordered Salkic held in DuPage County jail on $1 million bail. He would have to post $100,000 to be released from custody.
Prosecutors said Salkic was speeding in a Volkswagen Jetta when he disregarded a red stop light at the intersection of York and Irving Park roads and crashed his car into a Honda CRV at about 3:35 a.m. Friday, June 2. The Honda driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Following the crash, Salkic was taken to an area hospital for medical treatment. He was released from the hospital Tuesday afternoon and taken into custody. Salkic is accused of having a blood alcohol concentration of .194, more than twice the legal threshold, about two and a half hours after the crash.
"My heart goes out to the victim's family and the victim who was on her way to work," Bensenville Police Chief Daniel Schulze said in a statement. Her name was not released.
