Two people died in a fatal crash on Interstate 55 near Bolingbrook early Saturday morning.
Ariel Dorado, 25, was driving south in the northbound lane of the expressway when he struck a car driven by 20-year-old Daniel Zamora, according to Illinois State Police. The accident happened just before 3 a.m.
Zamora, who was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the accident, was ejected from the vehicle.
Both drivers were from Plainfield, police said.
Mike Mora, a friend of Zamora's, witnessed the aftermath of the accident on the interstate as he drove by.
"I pulled over right away, and I left my date in my car. I ran to go see ... I kept telling the police that's my friend in the car. I just want to know if he's OK," Mora said.
Mora said Zamora was set to celebrate his 21st birthday in just two weeks.
