Chicago man charged in DUI crash

Authorities have charged a Chicago man with driving under the influence and other violations after he was involved in a two-car accident that injured several people, including four children.

A Chicago police spokesman said Sunday that 19-year-old Erick Owens was cited for DUI, failure to keep in his lane, driving without a license and driving without insurance.

The crash occurred on the city's West Side about 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon.

Authorities say a 6-year-old boy whose condition was stable was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, along with a 15-year-old boy in good condition. A 7-year-old boy, a 6-year-old girl, a 32-year-old woman and another man were also taken to area hospitals.
