A 17-year-old boy was killed and three other people were critically injured following a two-vehicle car crash in suburban Glenview overnight.
According to Glenview Police, the crash took place just after 11 p.m. Sunday in the 1200 block of East Lake Avenue near Meadow Lane in Glenview. Lake Avenue between Waukegan and Wagner Roads were expected to remain closed in both directions through at least 8 a.m. Monday, with officials advising drivers to stay out of the area.
The driver of one of the vehicles, identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner as 17-year-old Marko Niketic, of Glenview, was killed in the crash and pronounced dead on the scene, police said.
Three other people were transported to a nearby hospital, police said. The driver of the other vehicle was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries, police said. The two others -- both passengers in each of the vehicles -- were last listed in critical condition, police added.
Photos and videos from the scene early Monday morning showed a heavy police presence, with investigators working to collect evidence. Two badly damaged cars could be seen, with airbags inside both cars deployed. Debris from the accident was scattered along the roadway, including pieces from a downed wooden fence.
In one photo, the back and driver's side of one of the vehicles involved appeared to be completely destroyed.
