A man who had sustained critical injuries in a vehicle crash that took place last month has now died of his injuries. The victim was identified as Jerome Dickerson, 42, of South Chicago in the accident reports briefly after the incident occurred.
The accident itself took place on March 22. According to the details shared by the authorities, Dickerson lived at a neighborhood in South Chicago. The vehicle crash which caused him critical injuries took place on the 2600 block of East 79th Street in Chicago, Illinois. It is not clear whether Dickerson was on foot or in a vehicle when he sustained the injuries.
Following the crash, Dickerson had been under medical treatment for life-threatening injuries. However, his condition worsened recently due to a number of factors. According to the Cook County medical examiner’s office, paraplegia complications hindered recovery for Dickerson. The medical problems in his case were further compounded by a cardiovascular disease. These factors ultimately led to Dickerson’s death.
The medical examiner’s office pronounced his death on Thursday, April 2. In the statement from the medical examiner’s office, Dickerson died of the injuries and subsequent complications caused by the accident. He breathed his last at the South Shore Hospital in Chicago and his death was thus ruled an accident.
It is not clear whether an investigation is ongoing in the case. Authorities have also not revealed whether other vehicles or individuals were involved in the crash and if so, what charges were brought against them. Subsequent accident reports may shed more light on the crash that led to Dickerson’s death.
