Fatal Chicago crash: 2 dead, 3 injured in South Side collision, authorities report
A tragic collision occurred on Friday night on the South Side of the city, resulting in the loss of two lives and three others being hospitalized. The incident took place in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood, at the 7500 block of S. Vincennes Avenue, as reported by the Chicago Police Department. The driver of a gray Buick sedan, a 37-year-old woman, was heading westbound when attempting a left turn southbound and failed to yield at the intersection. This resulted in a collision with a black Dodge traveling eastbound, containing five occupants - a 15-year-old girl, an 18-year-old woman, a 20-year-old man, a 25-year-old woman, and the 26-year-old male driver. Tragically, the 18-year-old woman and the 20-year-old man, identified as Matthew Cuadra, 20, and April M. Valencia, 18, both from Lansing, Illinois, succumbed to their injuries at the University of Chicago Medical Center. The other occupants sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were also hospitalized. Fortunately, a parked gray Mercedes sedan was not occupied at the time of the collision. The driver of the Buick received a citation for failing to yield and the incident is under investigation by the Major Accidents Investigative Unit.
