Chicagoist Weekend Blotter
For the third week in a row on the Blotter, multiple teens died in a car crash this weekend. Nine young people, ages 14 through 23, packed themselves into a four-door sedan in Oswego early Sunday morning. The driver and only non-teen, 23-year-old Sandra Vasquez, slammed into a utility pole, killing four passengers and injuring the rest. Vasquez has been charged with driving under the influence. The accident also caused several power outages in the area. A water pipe burst in a condo at Belmont and Lake Shore Drive on Friday, necessitating the evacuation of 700 residents. The basement pipe flooded storage rooms and the boilers, knocking out the heat. Firefighters have found the work so difficult due to the amount of water and lack of heat that residents likely won't be able to return for a week.
