A Tinley Park man has been charged with reckless homicide in connection with a fatal collision May 31 that killed a 23-year-old Romeoville man in Orland Park, police said Friday.

Robert Barajar, 41, is also charged with leaving the scene of an accident and failing to report a death or injury, Orland Park police said. He was scheduled to make an initial appearance at the Bridgeview courthouse Friday.

An investigation determined that Barajar’s vehicle was being driven south on Harlem and struck a vehicle driven by Bartholomew Kubera, who was taken to Silver Cross Hospital.
