Man charged in crash that killed Lombard resident

According to a release issued by Elmhurst Police Chief Michael Ruth, Elmhurst police have reported the arrest of a driver involved in a fatal traffic crash that occurred at 2:15 p.m. on Aug. 10 on westbound Roosevelt Road, west of York Street in Elmhurst. On that date, Elmhurst Police and Fire Departments responded to the traffic crash scene and located two involved vehicles. One of the drivers, William Bartolucci, 69, of Lombard, was critically injured in the traffic crash, extricated from his vehicle and transported to Elmhurst Hospital. The Elmhurst Police Department conducted an investigation of the traffic crash with the assistance of the DuPage County Accident Reconstruction Team and the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office. The investigation revealed the other driver was operating his vehicle at a high rate of speed when he collided with Mr. Bartolucci’s vehicle, causing Bartolucci’s vehicle to leave the roadway and roll over. Mr. Bartolucci later succumbed to injuries resulting from the crash on Sept. 9, 2017, at Loyola Medical Center in Maywood. The Elmhurst Police Department charged Wayne A. Veldman, 63, of the 4000 block of Highland Ave, Downers Grove, with one count of Reckless Homicide in relation to the traffic crash pursuant to an arrest warrant issued on September 19, 2017. Mr. Veldman surrendered himself on Thursday, Sept. 21 at the DuPage County Judicial Center where he posted bond and was released pending his next court date.
