Police said a white Infiniti sedan sideswiped a black Infiniti sedan and then one of those vehicles hit a Nissan that was traveling in the same direction.

The white Infiniti then jumped the curb and struck a 38-year-old man, police said. The man was transported to Advocate Christ Hospital, where he died.

He was later identified as Jamie T. Cerney of Chicago by county officials.

The white Infiniti then struck an airport hangar.

"I was going westbound on 63rd and next thing I know I get sideswiped, my airbags deployed, I couldn't see anything on my left side and then the next thing I see is a guy flying out," one of the drivers said.

The man driving the white Infiniti was transported to the hospital in fair condition and a woman who was his passenger was transported in unknown condition, police said.

The man driving the black Infiniti was not injured and transported to a hospital as a precaution, police said. A woman who was his passenger was not injured, police said.

The man driving the Nissan was not injured and declined treatment.

Police are still investigating and so far no citations have been issued.

Ald. Marty Quinn, who represents the 13th Ward, issued a statement, saying, "This accident was a tragedy and my heart goes out to the family and friends of the victim and those injured. Police are investigating the cause of this accident, and my concern is that this tragedy could have been the result of another instance of reckless driving in our community. The 13th Ward has been a hotspot for drag racing and drifting, which is one of the many reasons I've been pushing for a new police district for the southwest side, where we have the fewest number of police officers per capita in the entire city."
