State of Illinois authorities have brought felony charges against a New York City man accused of fleeing the scene of a fatal Northbrook crash in April.

Twenty-two-year-old Josue A. Noboa was arrested Monday on multiple charges, according to the Illinois State Police. Authorities said Noboa was one of multiple drivers involved in the fatal crash April 21 on Interstate 94.

Noboa is being held awaiting a court appearance, during which he will be represented by a car injury lawyer.

Authorities said Noboa likely was drag-racing 30-year-old Christopher A. Lopez just prior to the wreck, which occurred near Half Day Road. Lopez lost control of his vehicle and sideswiped a pair of commercial vehicles, according to troopers.

Lopez and his passenger, 29-year-old Roberta S. Harris, died as a result of injuries suffered in the wreck, authorities reported. Car accident reports do not list any additional injuries.

The Illinois State Police investigated the incident and learned of the possible drag-racing connection. Noboa was arrested Monday evening on two charges of leaving the scene of a fatal crash and reckless homicide and was booked into the Lake County Jail.

Noboa was being held on a $1 million bond as of Tuesday evening. It is unclear whether he has yet retained the services of an experienced car injury lawyer.
