Officials release more info on deadly wreck on I-290 near Tri-Taylor

It happened early Sunday morning on I-290 near Paulina St

CHICAGO, IL – According to ABC 7, officials have released more information regarding a deadly collision that happened at I-290 WB and Paulina St on Sunday.

A white Toyota sedan driver pulled over to the right shoulder of I-290. Erik C. Cox, 18, and Shaelyn M. Sherwood exited the vehicle to change a flat tire.

Ashanti Gates, 21, was driving a black Hyundai Sonata at high speeds with no headlights when she slammed into the Toyota and the two people.

Rescue crews pronounced Cox and Sherwood dead at the scene. A third person in the Toyota was not hurt.

First responders also transported Gates, as well as a 4-year-old boy and one other person from the Hyundai, to an area hospital.
