Sadness surrounds a suburban high school after two students from South Elgin High School were killed and two others injured in a crash Thursday on their way to school.
The students collided with a semi-truck at Route 25 and Kenyon Road on the border of Bartlett and South Elgin.
Just after 7 a.m. Thursday, the four teenage girls were just a couple blocks away from South Elgin High School, but they never arrived."It took just a matter of minutes today for this to unfold and then to have this outpouring of support," District U-46 Superintendent Suzanne Johnson said. "Every accident is hard to deal with, especially one such as this," South Elgin Fire Chief William Luchsinger said."It happened before school began for the day. But as word of the crash spread, the school made counselors and social workers available to help students cope with the sudden loss of their classmates.
