From the Chicago Tribune: A 29-year-old Dyer, Ind., woman killed in a car-truck collision Thursday in Crete was the twin sister of a girl killed by a hit-and-run driver approximately 500 yards away in 1996, a family member said today.
Sarah Sanaghan was killed around 5:40 a.m. when her car collided with a tanker truck at Illinois Route 394 and Burville Road. Illinois State Police say Sanaghan was heading west on Burville when she drove a Chevy Cruze across the four-lane expressway in front of the tanker truck heading south.
Her route would have taken her past Plum Creek Bridge on Burville Road, where she, her twin sister, Cari, and friends Courtney Lauer, Sheena Acres, and a boy were walking just before midnight on May 26, 1996, after sneaking out of the house during a sleepover at the twins’ home.
Cari, 11, Courtney, 12, and Sheena, 12, were fatally injured and the boy, 13, hospitalized with broken bones after being hit by a pickup truck. The pre-teens were hit by Richard Devon, a neighbor, who was later convicted and sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for leaving the scene. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-crash-victim-killed-near-site-of-twin-sisters-1996-death-20140228,0,1749649.story
Just terribly sad but also more than a little bit eerie.
