A 29-year-old man was killed in a traffic crash early Monday in Chicago on the Eisenhower Expressway.
It was around 2:20 a.m. when state troopers responded to a crash, which took place on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 290 on the ramp to Cicero Avenue. They found that Terrance K. Mitchell had been ejected from a vehicle, Illinois state police said.
Mitchell, 29, was dead at the scene, state police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office said.
After Mitchell was ejected, the vehicle he was driving crashed into a parked, unoccupied vehicle, officials said.
It wasn’t immediately clear what caused Mitchell, of the Austin neighborhood, to crash.
Eastbound lanes of I-290 reopened about 4:25 a.m. after being closed for about two hours.
