Man Killed In Saturday's West Town Car Crash Identified
Yonatan Monrroy-Madrid, 19, had been drinking beer and was speeding on Hubbard Street when he ran a stop sign at Ashland Avenue about 1:30 p.m. Saturday, T-boning a 2004 Toyota Camry, Assistant State's Attorney Bryan Grissman said during a bond hearing Monday.

The Camry's driver, 57-year-old Phillip Pieczynski, died on the scene, said a spokeswoman for the Cook County Medical Examiner's office, which released Pieczynski's name on Wednesday.
