FOX 32 Chicago reported on November 2, 2026, that a captain of a college hockey team was killed in a wrong-way crash in Illinois. The headline also attributes to the Department of Homeland Security a statement that the driver had been deported twice.
The headline leaves many details open, including how the crash happened, what led the driver to travel the wrong way, where exactly it occurred, the ages of those involved, and whether anyone else was hurt. It also does not explain the basis for the DHS statement about the driver's immigration history. No other news outlet has reported these details or confirmed the DHS statement so far.
The official crash report is kept by the law enforcement agency that responded to and handled the crash. People involved can generally ask that agency for a copy of the report.
