Glenview Man Charged With DUI After Hitting Two Cars

Jerzy Orczyk, 60, of Glenview, was arrested by Cook County sheriff's police on Sunday after crashing into two cars and seriously injuring one driver, a 56-year-old man from Wilmette, the Daily Herald reports.

Orczyk's blood alcohol content was more than five times the legal limit when he drove through a red light, struck a car, continued driving south in northbound lanes, struck another car, then kept going in the wrong lanes until hitting a sign and stopping in a ditch in unincorporated Maine Township, the Daily Herald reports.

Police charged Orczyk with one count of aggravated DUI resulting in great bodily harm, aggravated DUI and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in injury or great bodily harm, the Niles Herald-Spectator reports.

The Glenview man had previous DUI convictions from 2000 and 2006, and is being held on a $35,000 bond for Sunday's crash, the Glenview Announcements reports.
