Charges Filed After Motorcyclist Killed In DUI Crash: Batavia Police

BATAVIA, IL — A North Aurora man is facing several charges, including reckless homicide, after crashing into a motorcycle Sunday evening, resulting in a man's death, Batavia police said.

Officers were dispatched at 5:12 p.m. to the 400 block of South River Street after receiving a report of a crash involving a motorcycle and a Chevrolet van.

The critically injured motorcycle rider, whose identify has not been released pending notification of next of kin, was transported to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries, officials said.

After an investigation at the scene, Aca-Osorio was arrested and charged with the following:

• Two counts of aggravated driving under the influence causing death to another
• Reckless homicide
• Driving under the influence of alcohol
• Driving under the influence with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or more
• Associated petty traffic offenses
