A 52-year-old motorist was killed in a crash early Tuesday in Lake View.

The man was behind the wheel of a gray SUV at about 3 a.m. in the 1400 block of West Irving Park Road when he tried to make a left turn from a parking lot, Chicago police said.

Police said the lanes of travel were not clear as the driver proceeded to turn, and a black eastbound car slammed into his SUV, causing the 52-year-old to suffer bodily trauma, police said.

The man was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 5:41 a.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

A 47-year-old man had been driving the black car and police said he was not injured and refused medical attention.

No other injuries were reported, and no citations are pending.

Area 3 detectives are investigating.
