Man charged with DUI after deadly head-on crash on Chicago's South Side

A man has been charged with driving under the influence after a deadly head-on crash in Chicago's Jackson Park early Sunday morning.

Chicago police said Lance Cunningham, 24, is facing felony charges, including multiple counts of reckless homicide and aggravated DUI. He is expected in court for a detention hearing on Tuesday. 

Police were called to Richards Drive at Hayes Drive, near the Statue of the Republic, for a crash just after midnight Sunday. 

A white car carrying three people veered into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a silver car carrying one driver, police said.

A 26-year-old woman who was in the white car died at the scene. The 27-year-old driver of the white car was also killed, police said. A 25-year-old man from the car was taken to the same hospital in fair condition.

Police arrested Cunningham shortly after the crash. Along with the felony charges, he was cited with failure to reduce speed, operating an uninsured motor vehicle, speeding 26 to 34 miles per hour over the speed limit, and failure to stay in lane.
