大SUV Cadillac Escalade正向追尾Honda Civic,Civic中5人,1人當場死亡,4人重傷。出事後,Cadillac Escalade司機架車逃跑。

根據描述,推測兩車的相對速度應該在20-30MPH。

聯想到2006年9月,紐約州5位中國學生在LOCAL被背後的FORD EXPEDITION追尾,3死,2重傷的慘劇。得出結論,一定不能省油錢。沒錢買EXPEDITION,至少得買Volve XC60。

Champaign County Coroner Duane Northrup identified the victim as Yingbo Zhou
, 26, a graduate student at the University of Illinois from China.

In custody at the Champaign County jail is David L. McClain, 27, of Savoy.
State police Sgt. Bill Emery said McClain is expected to be charged with
reckless homicide and leaving the scene of a fatal accident.

McClain was arrested shortly after 2 p.m. Tuesday in Urbana. Police had been
looking for him since midnight Monday when his Cadillac Escalade was
reported to have been involved in a crash with a Honda Civic on I-74 between
Lincoln Avenue and Neil Street that left Ms. Zhou dead and four others
injured, one critically.

Champaign County court records show that McClain has a long history of
traffic violations and is currently charged with driving under suspension
and operating an uninsured vehicle stemming from an arrest in Urbana in
October.

Emery said Ms. Zhou was a passenger in the car and was pronounced dead at
Carle Foundation Hospital at 12:42 a.m. Tuesday. Police have not yet
released the names of the other two men and two women but Emery described
them as international students.
