Man killed when car slides into tree in Hammond, Indiana
Icy roads may be a factor in a crash that left a man dead overnight Saturday into Sunday in Hammond, Indiana.
The crash happened at 2:57 a.m. Sunday at 165th Street and Forest Avenue in Hammond, according to the Lake County, Indiana Coroner's office.
One man was killed when his car slid off the road into a tree. He was identified as Carlos Mata, 20, of Hammond.
Firefighters had to use special equipment to cut another person out of the car.
That person remained in critical condition late Sunday.
