CHICAGO (CBS) — A 17-year-old boy was killed, and three other people were injured in a crash in Englewood Sunday night.
Just after 10 p.m., police said a white SUV ran a red light and collided with a gray SUV at the intersection of 71st and Ashland. The crash sent both SUVs skidding, stopping just a few feet from the pumps of a BP gas station.
A 17-year-old passenger inside the white SUV, identified as Dontrell Ferguson, died at the University of Chicago Medical Center. The other passenger in the white SUV was sent to the same hospital in critical condition.
The driver of the gray SUV was treated for a concussion and was taken to Christ Hospital in serious condition. A passenger in the same vehicle was also taken to Christ Hospital in serious condition with a hip injury.
“I heard the impact, because I turned my head for a second, and when I turned and looked back, all I saw was the gray car pushing the white car almost into the gas pump, and the white car almost flipped over,” a witness told CBS News Chicago.
