A white Jaguar and a red GMC Envoy were northbound on Orchard Road, apparently traveling at high speeds, when both cars struck the trailer of a semi-tractor turning south onto Orchard Road after getting off eastbound I-88, according to the sheriff’s office.
The GMC driver, identified as Christopher Shaw, 23, of North Aurora, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The front seat passenger, Devonte Bouchee, 24, of Aurora, died in the afternoon after he was flown to a Chicago-area hospital. Aurora police probe reports of shootout between cars before fatal crash

Note: In order to raise awareness and preserve the memories of underride victims — precious ones gone too soon — I have been writing memorial posts on what appear to me to be underride crashes. I am not a crash reconstructionist, and I do not have all the facts on these crashes; but underride should be investigated as a potential factor in truck crash injuries and deaths.
