A driver was killed after crashing into a tree in Morgan Park on Chicago's Far South Side, according to the Chicago Police Department. The crash happened in the 11300 block of South Western Avenue, police said, in the reporting by ABC 7 Chicago.
That is the full extent of what officials have confirmed so far. Police have not released the driver's name, and they have not yet said what led up to the crash or whether anyone else was involved. Under this station's public-safety discipline, a death is reported only on an official source's confirmation — here, the police account carried by ABC 7 — and no detail beyond that confirmation is added.
Western Avenue is the main north-south corridor through Morgan Park, a largely residential neighborhood of bungalows and tree-lined side streets. The investigation is continuing, and this story will be updated when police release more of the facts.
