A 19-year-old woman was shot while driving and lost control crashing into another vehicle injuring two people and her passenger Tuesday night in the Englewood neighborhood, Chicago police said.
About 11 p.m., the woman was driving a Chevrolet Malibu in the 800 block of West Garfield Boulevard when a silver SUV approached and someone inside opened fire. The victim suffered a gunshot wound to the upper back and lost control of her vehicle striking a Volkswagen Jetta in the 5400 block of South Halsted Street, police said.
The 19-year-old woman was taken to UChicago Medicine where she was pronounced dead. Another 19-year-old woman who was a passenger inside the Malibu suffered lacerations to the face and also was taken in serious condition to the same hospital where her condition was stabilized, police said.
The driver of the Jetta and a passenger, a 43-year-old man and a woman, 40, were taken in good condition to Stroger Hospital with minor injuries, police said.
The silver SUV fled north from the scene. No one was in custody and detectives were investigating.
