Kyle Sievert, 23, of Arlington Heights has been charged with DUI resulting from a traffic crash in Crystal Lake that ended in the death of a 24-year-old woman. Sievert was driving a Trans Am Saturday night with 3 passengers. At approximately 11:28PM, Sievert reportedly lost control of his vehicle, entering the opposite lane of traffic and into the path of a Jeep Cherokee. The passenger side of Sievert’s Trans Am struck the front of the Jeep.
Sievert was treated for injuries and then taken into custody by the Crystal Lake Police. One of his passengers, Vanessa Toby, of Schaumburg, died from her injuries later at the hospital. His two additional passengers were treated for injuries, while the driver and passenger of the Jeep were examined and released on scene.
Sievert was charged with aggravated DUI resulting in a motor vehicle accident resulting in death, and aggravated DUI resulting in an accident resulting in great bodily harm, as well as failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and improper lane usage. He remained in the McHenry County Jail after a $75,000 bond was set on Monday.
