West Chicago Man Gets 10 Years for Fatal DUI

Jaime Damian, a 22-year-old from West Chicago, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to aggravated DUI charges related to a fatal crash in September 2023. Damian, who had cocaine in his system, crossed into oncoming traffic on Roosevelt Road and collided head-on with a vehicle driven by Jose Correa, resulting in Correa's death and serious injuries to his wife, Maria. The crash occurred around 1:25 p.m. on September 14, 2023, and both victims had to be extracted from their vehicle by emergency responders. Damian will serve at least 85% of his sentence before he is eligible for parole, taking into account the 14 months he has already been in custody. This tragic incident underscores the severe consequences of impaired driving and its devastating impact on the victims' family and friends.
