2 Dead in 5-Car Crash in Bartlett

A horrific crash in the northwest suburbs occurred Tuesday morning, leaving two people dead.

It happened at the intersection of Munger and Stearns streets in Bartlett shortly before 6 a.m.

Bartlett police say a man driving a Chevy Cobalt west on Stearns somehow crossed into on coming traffic and slammed into two cars, a Nissan Altima and a Land or Range Rover. The driver of the Altima died at the scene and the driver of the Cobalt, who hit the Altima, suffered life-threatening injuries and had to be transported to a hospital in nearby Hoffman Estates. That person was later pronounced dead, police said.

People who know Bartlett well say the area has been a shortcut through local construction.
