An Illinois lawmaker is demanding an investigation into the seven hours it took Chicago police supervisors to order a Breathalyzer test on an officer involved in a fatal crash last fall. We report from our West Side bureau.

The collision killed two Cicero men: 22-year-old Miguel Flores and 21-year-old Erick Lagunas. Off-duty Chicago police officer John Ardelean broadsided their car on the city’s Northwest Side.

State Sen. Martin Sandoval, who represents Cicero, is wondering why it took so long for the sobriety test.

SANDOVAL: If someone is arrested in a car accident and believed to have been under the influence, a Breathalyzer test should be taken within a couple hours of the incident.

In a written response today, police Superintendent Jody Weis said an internal investigation of Ardelean and his supervisors remains active.

A Cook County judge this month dismissed felony drunk-driving charges against the officer. Yesterday the State’s Attorney’s office agreed to take what it called a fresh look at the case.
