ISP said the crash happened around 4:31 a.m. near Cumberland Avenue.
Jakyla M. Hester, 21, was driving a Volkswagen sedan southbound in the northbound lanes when she struck a Honda sedan, ISP said.
ISP said the Honda's driver, 27-year-old Quinn Anthony Fraboni, died from his injuries. Hester was taken to a local hospital with injuries.
Hester has been charged with Aggravated Driving Under the Influence Causing Death, Reckless Homicide and Aggravated Driving Under the Influence - No Valid Driver's License, ISP said on Friday.
Hester was transported to the Cook County Jail in Maywood pending a detention hearing.
Fraboni was a fitness trainer who worked at Flexx Personal Training in Arlington Heights. His coworkers are devastated by his death. They said that when he didn't show up for work that day, they thought he overslept, and were shocked and crushed to hear about the crash.
