1 dead in Aurora crash

A man was killed in a collision Tuesday afternoon which temporarily closed all lanes of the intersection of Eola and Diehl roads in Aurora.

Carlos Villegas, 89, of Carpentersville died after his car collided with a truck at about 1:20 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of Eola and Diehl roads, officials said.

A preliminary investigation indicates Villegas was driving west on Diehl and apparently ran the red light at Eola, officials said. The car collided with a truck that was traveling north on Eola with a green light.

While the car was pushed across the roadway, the truck hit another vehicle driven by a 45-year-old woman who refused medical treatment. The truck driver also refused medical treatment.

Villegas' passenger, his 87-year-old wife, Dorothy, suffered nonlife-threatening injuries and has been treated at an Aurora hospital.

Everyone involved was wearing seat belts. There are no signs that alcohol or drugs were a factor in the incident, and no citations have been issued.

All lanes of Diehl and Eola were reopened Tuesday evening.
