A Markham man charged in a multiple-car crash in Crestwood last week that killed a man was on parole for a 2006 deadly car crash and should not have had a valid driver's license, a state official said Monday.

Bruce Dozier had a valid license at the time he caused the Oct. 1 crash that killed Frederick Anderson, 55, of Country Club Hills, police said. But he shouldn't have, according to the Illinois secretary of state's office.

Dozier's reckless driving conviction in Cook County for the 2006 accident in which a 28-year-old woman died should have resulted in the revocation of his license, said David Druker, a spokesman for the secretary of state's office.

But, Druker said, the clerk of the circuit court of Cook County never notified the secretary of state about the conviction.
