East Chicago, IN : Unsafe speeds cited in deadly Cline Avenue wreck on Wednesday, February 1, 2017

Unsafe speeds may have been a factor in Wednesday's crash that killed a Chicago man on northbound Cline Avenue, a preliminary investigation by the Lake County Sheriff's Department shows.

Police responded a little after 1 a.m. Wednesday on Cline Avenue near the 5C exit ramp. The initial investigation indicates Gerome Bailey, 39, exited northbound State Road 912 onto the exit ramp before crashing into the concrete barrier head on, spokesman Mark Back said in a news release.

The exit is in the area of Michigan Avenue, where the road is closed because a bridge is out.

Bailey was taken to St. Catherine Hospital, where he was pronounced dead about 6:10 a.m. The cause of death was listed as accident by the Lake County Coroner's office.
