CHICAGO (WLS) – Two people died and three others were injured in a crash on Chicago’s South Side Friday night, officials confirmed.

The Chicago Police Department reported that the collision occurred around 9:30 p.m. near West 75th Street and South Vincennes Avenue in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood.

According to police, a 37-year-old woman was driving a grey Buick sedan westbound when she attempted to turn southbound but failed to yield at the intersection. The Buick then struck a black Dodge vehicle that was traveling eastbound. The crash also involved an unoccupied, parked grey Mercedes sedan, which was hit as a result of the impact.

Video footage from the scene showed extensive damage with debris scattered across the area. Witnesses reported that at least two people were ejected from vehicles during the crash.

Two occupants of the Dodge were transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where they were pronounced dead. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office identified them as 20-year-old Matthew Cuadra and 18-year-old April M. Valencia, both from Lansing.

The Dodge’s driver, a 26-year-old man, along with two passengers—a 15-year-old girl and a 25-year-old woman—were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the Buick was cited by police for failure to yield while making a left turn.

The Chicago Police Department’s Major Accidents Unit is currently investigating the crash. Further information has not been released.

A 55-year-old Vista man suspected of killing his mother has been arrested, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday.

Tad Christopher Johnson was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon at a home in the 2100 block of Riviera Drive in Vista. Deputies discovered 80-year-old Linda Johnson of Arizona gravely injured at the residence while investigating a reported assault, according to Lt. Juan Marquez.

Paramedics transported Linda Johnson to a hospital, where she passed away the following day, Marquez said.

The exact cause of her death is currently under investigation, as are the motivation and circumstances surrounding the crime, Marquez added.

As of Thursday, it remained unclear who resides in the home where the alleged homicide occurred. Detectives believe the residence might belong to a member of the family shared by the mother and son, according to Marquez.

The suspect is being held without bail at the Vista Detention Facility, pending his arraignment scheduled for Friday afternoon.
