Joliet, Ill – A man has been charged in relation to an accident that caused the deaths of two elderly women. As reported by CBS Chicago, 25 year-old Joseph E. Slattery was recently charged with six counts of aggravated DUI following the accident that left Margaret S. Simons, 72, and Suzanne Thomson, 92, dead.
