The Woodstock Police Department has released new reports about a car accident that claimed a juvenile’s life last week in northwest suburban Woodstock, Illinois. In the updated reports released on Tuesday, June 9, police revealed the victim’s cause of death, as confirmed in the results of the autopsy conducted on the boy.
According to the WPD, 7-year-old Juessar, Onan Nunez Guerra, died on Saturday, June 6, two days after suffering injuries in a two-vehicle crash. The Cook County medical examiner’s office determined his cause of death to be craniocerebral injuries sustained in an accident.
The traffic collision leading to Guerra’s death occurred on Thursday, June 4. At about 3:50 p.m., WPD officers reported that two vehicles collided at the intersection of U.S. Route 120 and Route 14.
The victim was traveling as a passenger in one of the vehicles driven by Maria Diaz-Nunez. Investigators gathered that the car was on the left turn lane on Route 120, negotiating an unlawful right turn. Just as the motorist turned right, her vehicle crashed into the passenger side of a truck hauling farm equipment.
Guerra, who was not using proper restraint, suffered critical injuries, and a helicopter flew him to Lutheran General Hospital, where he later died. Medics also airlifted Diaz-Nunez to Rockford’s Javon Bea Hospital with a cracked vertebra and broken ribs. Two other occupants of the car received non-life-threatening injuries.
Diaz now faces several charges in connection with the traffic wreck, as disclosed in the reports of the car accident.
