Police said the white SUV disregarded a traffic light when it was struck by the gray SUV, which was captured on surveillance video.

Police said one person in the white SUV was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he later died. Another person in the white SUV was transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Police said the woman driving the gray SUV suffered a concussion and was transported to Advocate Christ Hospital, where her condition was listed as serious. The male passenger was transported to Advocate Christ Hospital with a hip injury and his condition is listed as serious.

One man said he saw passengers being pulled from the car and expressed gratitude that none of the fuel dispensers were damaged in the crash.

“I heard the impact because I turned my head for a second, and when I turned around and looked back, all I saw was a gray car pushing the car almost into the gas station and the white one almost flipped over,” said witness Larry. “The airbags popped out of the car and I just thought, ‘Wow,’ and that’s when everything stopped.”

Police said they were awaiting summonses and the Serious Accidents Unit was investigating.
