Illinois: Trucker Charged in Accident That Killed Tollway Worker, Injured Trooper in Fiery Crash
Renato V. Velasquez of Hanover Park has been charged in connection with a crash that killed an IDOT worker and injured an Illinois State Police Trooper. The worker, Vincent Petrella, loved his job at the tollway, especially being out on the road in weather people hated. "He just loved it," said his sister Maria Petrella. "He always looked forward to it when it came to snow. He was just a hard worker."
