North Chicago man killed in Waukegan crash

A North Chicago man died early Friday after a crash in Waukegan.

The Waukegan Police Department responded about 2 a.m. to Pershing Road and Water Street. A 2017 black Cadillac sedan driving south on Pershing crashed at a curve in the road, according to a news release.

The driver, identified Friday afternoon as 36-year-old David Rodriguez, was not wearing his seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle. Preliminary autopsy results indicate Rodriguez died from multiple blunt-force injuries, the Lake County coroner's office said.

Two passengers in their 20s declined medical treatment.

Police believe speed and alcohol were factors in the crash.
