Auburn man acquitted of first-degree murder found guilty of reckless homicide and other offenses from 2022 fatal crash

An Auburn man was acquitted of first-degree murder but found guilty of reckless homicide and aggravated driving under the influence for a wrong-way fatal crash on Interstate 55 near Springfield in 2022.

A jury deliberated for less than an hour before returning the verdicts against 46-year-old Shane Woods. Another driver, 35-year-old Lauren Wegner of Skokie, was killed in the crash.

Woods faces three to five years in prison; sentencing is on August 19.
