Two people inside a minivan died when they rear-ended a semitruck Friday morning in the Far South Side’s Hegewisch neighborhood, police said.
The semi was eastbound in the 2700 block of East 130th Street about 9:15 a.m., trying to make a left turn when a Dodge Grand Caravan, also eastbound, rear-ended the semi, police said.
The two people in the minivan, identified only as male, were taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center where they were pronounced dead, police said.
No one else was hurt.
The police major accidents investigation unit is probing the wreck.
