Two people were killed this morning in separate auto accidents on the South and West Sides, according to Chicago police.
Twenty-one-year-old Uriel Silva was driving a white Oldsmobile Delta 88 with two passengers inside it about 5:20 a.m. when the car crashed in the 3800 block of South Ashland Avenue in the McKinley Park community.
Silva's car hit a median, spun and hit a pillar from a viaduct, prompting Chicago Fire Department personnel to extricate him, police said.
Silva, of the 2100 block of South Ashland Avenue, was pronounced dead at 6:15 a.m. at Stroger Hospital, said a Cook County medical examiner's office spokesman.
One of Silva's passengers, a 24-year-old man, was also taken to Stroger, but his condition wasn't available. A condition also wasn't available for the second passenger, a 31-year-old man.
About an hour after that crash, Carl Bowe's vehicle hit a fixed object in the 4400 block of West Lake Street in the West Garfield Park community. Police could not provide further details of the crash, but said he was believed to be the driver.
Bowe, whose address wasn't available, was pronounced dead a little before 8 a.m. at Mount Sinai Hospital, said the spokesman for the medical examiner's office.
Although road conditions would've been slippery in the city because of the snowfall, police could not say for certain this evening what caused the two crashes.
