Barajas appeared in court on Wednesday where a bond of $50,000 was set. The man claimed he was suffering from dementia.
30-year-old Christina Jankowski, of Elmhurst, was killed Monday in a hit-and-run crash while riding a motorcycle in west suburban Hanover Park.
Police found Jankowski dead at the scene, after officers responded to a call of a crash at Army Trail and County Farm roads around 8:20 p.m. Monday night.
Witnesses told police a man driving a tan or golden sedan – possibly a Mercury – had struck the motorcycle and left the scene headed south on County Farm Road. Jankowski suffered severe head trauma in the crash, and paramedics were unable to revive her. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Barajas next court date was set for May 22.
