Two people including a 22-year-old man died during a three-vehicle high-speed traffic crash on the West Side early Sunday.
Laquell Collins, 22, was behind the wheel of a dark-colored car traveling south on Central Avenue at a high rate of speed when it crashed into another car at Augusta Avenue about 2:10 a.m.
A 36-year-old man behind the wheel of the other car, also dark-colored, was eastbound on Augusta when he disregarded a right light and collided with Collins’ southbound car, police said.
A third vehicle, a beige minivan, was being driven by a 45-year-old man when one of the two cars hit the minivan’s front end, causing damage, police said.
The two dark-colored cars finally came to rest in the yards of two separate residences, police said.
The 36-year-old motorist, suffering from “severe trauma,” was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
A 35 year old woman who was a passenger in the 36-year-old’s vehicle was treated by the CFD and transported to Stroger hospital in critical condition, police said.
The minivan driver was not injured and declined medical services.
Major Accident Detectives are investigating the circumstances involving the incident, which police officers in the area on their way to a call, witnessed.
