DUI motorist hit with Scott’s Law violation in I-90 wreck, state police says - Chicago Tribune

A motorist without a valid driver’s license who veered off I-90 and slammed into a state trooper’s squad car near Schaumburg was charged with a Scott’s Law violation early Saturday according to Illinois State Police.

Martin A. Estanez Landa, 26, was also charged with aggravated driving under the influence, reckless driving, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, and improper lane usage, an ISP statement said.

The trooper, an acting master sergeant, was inside his squad car with its emergency lights activated behind an abandoned, stolen vehicle when the crash happened about 1:40 a.m. just east of Route 53.

Estanez Landa, who was eastbound in a gray Honda, failed to yield to the trooper and “veered off the roadway onto the left shoulder” and rear-ended the squad car, which caused the squad to ram the stolen car, the statement said.

Estanez Landa, of Elgin, was taken to an area hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening and the master sergeant was not hurt.
