DUI charges under review in fatal car-motorcycle crash in Champaign
Berry was charged Tuesday with two counts of aggravated driving under the influence, a Class 4 felony, but Assistant State's Attorney Toby Ortega said in the wake of Mr. Saad's death, more serious charges of aggravated DUI could be filed once he has reviewed the case.
Judge Brett Olmstead set Berry's bond at $20,000 and allowed a request that he be able to leave the state while the case is pending.

What do you want to do?
Since motorcycle crashes often end in serious injuries, victims need immediate help
Motorcycle accidents are more likely to end in serious injuries or death for the motorcyclist, since the rider is not protected from the force of a collision. When a motorcycle accident happens, the injured rider needs immediate, appropriate medical care, the accident needs to be investigated, and the insurance companies need to be informed.
When a motorcycle crash is caused by negligence, additional steps need to be taken to protect the legal rights of the injured motorcyclist or the family members of someone killed in a motorcycle crash. Go here to learn more about motorcycle accidents and claims.
