Streamwood man killed in six-car crash in Carpentersville

A man was killed Tuesday night in a six-vehicle crash in Carpentersville.

Jamie X. McDonald, 27, of Streamwood, had to be extricated from his vehicle and died at Sherman Hospital.

Three other people sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Around 6:58 p.m., the driver of a Ford F-150 pickup truck failed to stop and hit a vehicle in front of him that was stopped at a red light at Route 25 and Helm Road. The impact sent that vehicle into the vehicle McDonald was driving.

The driver of the truck, Hector Salgado of McHenry, has been issued two tickets, according to Carpentersville police. Police and the Kane County Accident Reconstruction Team are investigating the crash. There was no indication of alcohol or drug use, according to police, and Salgado agreed to submit to blood and urine tests required of drivers involved in a fatal crash.
