As previously reported, a black Nissan Altima and a Chevrolet Suburban towing a Honda Pilot were traveling southbound on Interstate Highway 69E. Traffic was slow due to a rollover accident that was blocking traffic lanes.

The Chevrolet attempted to slow down when it lost control and collided with the Altima, according to Sgt. Hernandez. The Chevrolet veered off the roadway and struck Juan, who was standing in a ditch.

The crash remains under investigation.
