ST. CHARLES, Ill. (WLS) -- A west suburban man is remembering his son, who was killed in a crash while on his way home from spring break.

This crash happened Friday, northwest of Indianapolis.



St. Charles 14-year-old Jordan Laskowski was killed, and his 12-year-old sister was hurt.

Jordan's father says his son was his best friend.



"He was just like me," said Scott Laskowski. "Loves sports. Huge, die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan. His name is Jordan. Michael Jordan was my hero growing up, so, that's why I named him.

Jordan's mother, grandmother and 8-year-old sister were also in the car, but were not seriously hurt.
