Chicago police said the crash happened around 9:15 p.m. Sunday in the 300 block of West 35th Street. <\/p>\n
A red sedan driven by a 24-year-old woman was traveling eastbound when the driver “lost control of the vehicle and crossed over the median,” police said. <\/p>\n

The 24-year-old drive of the sedan and a 21-year-old woman who was riding in the vehicle were treated at the scene for “trauma to the body” before being transported to Stroger Hospital, where both were pronounced dead. <\/p>\n
They were identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office as 24-year-old Yuliana Yamileth Rolon and 21-year-old Natalia Andrea Acevedo Mendez. <\/p>\n
