An Aurora man who led police on a high-speed chase Friday night ultimately crashed his SUV in the west suburbs.
At 8:15 p.m., a Warrenville police officer observed a purple Chevrolet Trailblazer driving west on Butterfield Road at 74 mph, according to a statement from the DuPage County state's attorney's office.
During the pursuit, the Trailblazer allegedly drove over a sidewalk and a median, causing the SUV to go airborne before it crashed at Grand Boulevard and Miller Avenue, according to prosecutors. The driver, Felipe Galindo, 24, was charged with one count of aggravated fleeing or eluding a police officer, one count of misdemeanor DUI and 13 additional misdemeanors and driving offenses.
