At 1:46 a.m. on Thursday, June 5 near the location of 150th and Cicero Avenue, 49-year-old Clayton Prysny of Oak Forest was operating a 2016 Nissan south bound on Cicero Avenue when he struck a 57-year-old male, who was walking north bound in the south bound lanes of Cicero Avenue. 

Upon arrival, Oak Forest police and fire personnel provided medical assistance to the pedestrian, who was later transported to South Suburban Hospital. Unfortunately, the 57-year-old male was pronounced deceased at the hospital.

Oak Forest police officers spoke with Prysny on scene and administered standard field sobriety tests to which Prysny unsatisfactorily performed.  Prysny was placed into custody and transported to the Oak Forest Police Department where he was offered additional sobriety testing, but refused.  Prysny was charged with aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol and reckless homicide.  Prysny remains detained with the Cook County Department of Corrections.  His court date is set for June 27 at 9:30 a.m. at Bridgeview Courthouse.

The identity of the 57-year-old victim continues to be held pending notification of the family. Anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to contact Investigator Lowisz at Dlowisz@oak-forest.org.
