A teen has died and two other people are in critical condition after a car crash in north suburban Glenview late Sunday night, police said.
Marko Niketic, 17, was driving one of the two vehicles involved in the crash in the 1200 block of East Lake Avenue around 11 p.m., Glenview police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. Niketic, of Glenview, was pronounced dead on the scene.
Three other people were taken to nearby hospitals after the crash. Two passengers were both in critical condition, and the driver of the other vehicle had injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.
East Lake Avenue remained closed Monday at 9 a.m. from Wagner Road to Waukegan Road.
Glenbrook High School District 225 officials confirmed Monday that Marko was a senior at Glenbrook South High School.
“The GBS student services team is responding to the emotional needs of all students and staff by making student services personnel available,” Glenbrook South Principal Barbara Georges wrote in a message to the school community.
“The student services department will continue to offer counseling throughout the week,” she continued. “Our thoughts are with the Niketic family and the entire GBS community during this difficult time.”
Glenview police and a major crash task force are investigating.
