A Northfield man is facing multiple charges after a high-speed crash in Arlington Heights Sunday morning.
Police say around 7:33 a.m. a 2020 Nissan sideswiped a Toyota Camry before crashing into a rail grade crossing signal at the corner of Arlington Heights Road and Northwest Highway. Benitez was taken to Lutheran General Hospital. The driver of the Toyota was taken to Northwest Community Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. Each vehicle was occupied by the driver only.
Union Pacific Railroad quickly responded to the scene following the crash to begin necessary repairs of the damaged grade crossing signals. Since the crash, all incoming train traffic has been required to provide audible signal when approaching the crossing due to the repairs. Police say Benitez was under the influence of alcohol and was arrested following his release from the hospital.
