Aurora man faces DUI charge after crashing into Bartlett pond

An Aurora man who crashed into a retention pond in Bartlett early Sunday has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, authorities said.

Bartlett police arrested 27-year-old Juan Walker of Aurora.

Officers responded to a call of a crash at the intersection of Schick Road and Woodland Hills in Bartlett about 4:30 a.m. Sunday.

Investigators allege Walker had been driving a 2011 GMC vehicle west on Schick Road when it went off the roadway and into the retention pond west of Woodland Hills Parkway.

Walker and his 26-year-old female passenger were taken to Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield with nonlife-threatening injuries, police said.

Walker was released on a $3,000 individual bond and assigned a court date of Nov. 3 at the DuPage County courthouse in Wheaton.
