Police said the crash involved a Honda Civic and a dump truck driver at Illinois Route 25 and Keynon Road at 7 a.m. That intersection is just east of the high school campus.
One of the students in the Honda died at the scene, and a second student died shortly after being transported to the hospital, police said. All of the students in the Civic are females, and two of the girls are related, CBS 2 has learned. Video from Chopper 2 shows the dump truck loaded with sand tipped over on its side. The Civic was near the dump truck cabin in a field near the intersection. "These are extremely difficult," said William Luchsinger, the South Elgin fire chief."Firemen have hearts; they have emotions; they have feelings; and they have families." South Elgin principal Kurt Johansen said everybody is still trying to process it all.
"You just take it one step at a time," he said."We're just trying to get through the moment right now and will try to get through the day, and then we'll try to get through the month. Take it a day at a time after that." It is with a heavy heart that we write about a loss in our South Elgin High School family. Losing a member of our school community is a tragedy, sad, and may be difficult to understand.
Our thoughts, prayers, and most sincere condolences are with the families and loved ones of the students during this incredibly difficult time.
