Bolingbrook teen pleads guilty in fatal DUI crash

A 17-year-old Bolingbrook man pleaded guilty Friday to charges stemming from a drunken driving crash that killed a woman sleeping in her bed, authorities said.

Luis V. Benito, of 307 Woodcreek Drive, pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow said in a written statement.

Benito faces between three and 14 years in prison when he is sentenced in March by Circuit Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak.

The victim, Josefina Prospero, and her husband were asleep in bed when Benito crashed his SUV through the wall of their Bolingbrook apartment unit in the early-morning hours of Nov. 13, 2010. Prospero was pinned beneath the wheel of the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. Her husband, who was sleeping closer to the wall, was unharmed.

Benito's blood-alcohol level was .204 at the time of the crash, authorities said, which is more than two times the legal limit.
