On August 5, 2025, ISP troopers responded to a fatal crash on I-94 southbound at 95th Street in Chicago. Preliminary reports indicate that a crash occurred and the driver of one of the vehicles, 47-year-old Alassane Tchandikou of Hinsdale, IL, exited his vehicle and was subsequently struck by a passing white Kia. Tchandikou was transported to an area hospital and later declared deceased. The driver of the Kia, 34-year-old Marques D. Worrell of Chicago, was also injured in the crash and taken to an area hospital for treatment.
On August 6, 2025, ISP special agents presented their case to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office and Worrell was charged with Aggravated Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol Resulting in Death (Class 2 Felony). Worrell was arrested and held pending his first court appearance but has since been released. There is no further information.
The charges are not evidence against the defendants, and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
