The man accused of piloting a small plane under the influence and then crashing it late Saturday night near a subdivision in unincorporated Downers Grove is only the second person in the county to face such a charge in nearly 30 years.

A Westmont man is in critical condition Thursday after police say he stabbed his father to death, led police on a high-speed chase and injured four people in a chain-reaction car crash, before finally ramming into a tree.
A man lost control of his car at shortly after 11:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 17, and struck an electrical pole on the west side of the 8500 block of Lemont Road, Darien.
The day after the seventh anniversary of 9/11, threat letters, two containing white powder were mailed to police departments and a children's museum. A police official confirmed they may be linked to a Westmont and Willowbrook prostitution sting.
