Rogers Park Man Charged With DUI In Accident That Kills Boy, 10

A Rogers Park man was charged with reckless homicide and aggravated driving under the influence in a crash that killed a 10-year-old boy.

According to reports, Martin Candia allegedly slammed into a parked sports utility vehicle, which lurched forward to hit another parked SUV, trapping 10-year-old Calvin Santos in between the two vehicles on the 6900 block of North Ashland just after 5:45 a.m. Saturday morning.

Santos was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead just after 7:30 a.m. He and his three-year-old sister were reportedly headed across the street to their aunt's house from their father's vehicle.

According to police, Candia was legally drunk, though they have not released what his blood alcohol content was at the time of the accident. He was also charged or cited for nine other offenses.
