One woman died and another was hospitalized after a car lost control and crashed in the Avondale neighborhood early Monday morning.
At 1:30 a.m., a black sedan carrying two women was traveling west in the 3800 block of West Diversey Avenue when the 31-year-old driver lost control and struck a parked car, police said. The sedan then veered across the road and collided with the rear of an eastbound semi-trailer truck.
The 31-year-old passenger was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. The driver was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in good condition.
The truck driver was uninjured and declined medical treatment. Police were issuing citations Monday morning.
Diversey Avenue was closed between Avers and Hamlin avenues following the crash. The No. 76 Diversey CTA bus was rerouted, with Belmont and Fullerton avenues advised as alternatives.
