Two South Elgin High School students were killed and two others injured when the car they were in collided with a dump truck Thursday on Route 25 in Bartlett.
Bartlett police said all four students inside the 2002 Honda Civic were teenage girls.
One of the girls was pronounced dead at the scene. A second was taken to a nearby hospital, where she died.
The male dump truck driver, the driver of the Honda and a passenger in the Honda were taken to a hospital with injuries that weren’t considered life-threatening.
The crash happened about 7 a.m. near the intersection of Route 25 and Kenyon Road.
Images from the crash site show the two vehicles careened off the road and into a nearby cornfield. The dump truck had tipped onto its side after the crash. Its front end appears to have collided with the passenger’s side of the Honda.
