Two people are dead and three others seriously hurt after a high-speed crash in West Pullman that sent one car into the air Thursday, according to the Chicago Fire Department.
Two cars collided shortly before 2 p.m. in the 12400 block of South Michigan Avenue, Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said. One of the cars went airborne and slammed into a tree.
Firefighters took about 20 minutes to free all five people from the wreckage, he said. Two of them were dead and three others seriously hurt. Early reports indicated they were all adults, he said.
Police said an eastbound Volkswagen had struck a northbound Hyundai.
Additional details were not released.
