A second teenager has died following Tuesday’s single-car crash in Bartlett.
Sixteen year-old Cameron Kelty of Bartlett passed away yesterday as a result of injuries suffered in the crash which also took the life of fellow passenger Alex E. Czerwik, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
At approximately 9:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Bartlett Police Department responded to the intersection of Newport Lane and Devon Avenue to investigate a fatal car crash involving a single vehicle. Bartlett Police alleged a 16-year-old male was driving a 2021 Honda Civic westbound on Devon Avenue from Newport Boulevard when his vehicle struck a curb, a speed limit sign, and then a utility pole before it rolled over on its roof.
District U46 CEO Tony Sanders posted the following announcement on his personal Facebook account this morning:
