Four-year-old boy killed in Kane County crash

A 4-year-old boy died after a two-vehicle crash Sunday in unincorporated Kaneville Township, authorities said.

The boy, Logan Ortiz, was in a 2017 Chevy Trax driven by Jessica Ortiz, 34, of Cortland, when the crash occurred shortly after 5 p.m. at Keslinger and West County line roads, just south of Maple Park.

An initial investigation showed Ortiz's SUV was westbound on Keslinger when it drove through a stop sign at West County Line and collided with a northbound Toyota RAV4, Kane County sheriff's police said.

Logan initially was taken to Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital in Geneva, then transported to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where he died from his injuries, authorities said. He had been secured in a child safety seat.

Jessica Ortiz and a 10-year-old passenger in her car, Landon Ortiz, were treated at Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital and released.

The driver of the Toyota, Abby Hyslop, 16, of St. Charles, was treated for her injuries at the scene, sheriff's police said.

The crash remains under investigation, and, as of Monday, no tickets had been issued.

Anyone who witnessed or has any information about the crash should call the Kane County Investigations Division at (630) 444-1103.
