Joliet Man Charged In Traffic Crash That Injured State Trooper

Trooper Frank had responded to a traffic crash that occurred in Will County and pulled behind the wrecked vehicles in the left lane with emergency lights activated. A Cadillac driven by Casillas crashed into the rear of Frank’s squad car causing serious injury to Trooper Frank.

On April 5, 2022, Casillas turned himself into authorities at the Will County Jail.  An emergency bond reduction hearing was requested by Casillas and granted by the court.  Bond was reduced from $250,000 to $100,000. So far this year, there have been nine ISP squad cars struck in relation to the Move Over Law, resulting in injuries to four Troopers.
