Last updated on Friday, June 8, 2018

(DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.) - Illinois State Police have arrested an Indiana man in connection with a crash that left a 3-year-old child dead.

Matthew Munz turned himself over to police Wednesday. Authorities say the Zionsville man was driving in the Chicago suburbs March 23 when he failed to stop for a car stalled in Interstate 90 traffic. The crash resulted in critical injuries to the front seat passenger and the death of a 3-year-old in the back seat.

A state police investigation found Munz was using his cellphone in the moments before the crash.

The 49-year-old man has been charged with two felony counts of Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Communication Device. Munz paid $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court next month.
