A Joliet man pled guilty Friday to seriously injuring an Illinois State Trooper in a Scotts Law Crash in 2021.

Angel Casillas, 23, was driving a black 2010 Cadillac northbound on I-55 on Feb. 15, 2021 when he struck a State Trooper's squad car that was parked on the expressway blocking off a previous crash scene.

He also deployed three emergency flares behind his patrol vehicle to help divert and control traffic out of the left lane. The Cadillac continued northbound in the left lane, coming to an uncontrolled final rest upright near the center median wall. Although the posted speed limit on that area of the highway is 65 mph, Casillas was traveling at a speed of between 82 and 89 mph.
