Man charged with aggravated DUI in Route 53 Rolling Meadows crash that killed four
A 32-year-old man, charged Wednesday with four counts of aggravated DUI involving a death, had alcohol and marijuana in his system Saturday when his vehicle struck a disabled car on Route 53 in Rolling Meadows, killing all four occupants, authorities said.
Lamar C. Graves of Bellwood was ordered held on $450,000 bail Wednesday by Cook County Judge Ellen Mandeltort.
Prosecutors say Graves’ Jeep Wrangler was traveling more than 88 mph when it struck the Ford Fiesta driven by Stacy S. Harris, 45, of Schaumburg about 11:33 p.m. Feb. 20. The car was parked on the northbound shoulder of Route 53 at the time of the crash, and Harris was on the phone seeking roadside assistance, according to prosecutors.
Killed along with Harris were her 17-year-old son Jeremy Johnson, also of Schaumburg; her sister Herlanda L. Harris, 47, of Chicago; and Herlanda Harris’ 6-year-old son Jimarion Harris.
