Carmen Zeron, 48, of Waukegan, was identified as the driver of a Nissan sedan who was killed when that vehicle was struck by the dump truck at the intersection of Fairfield and Chardon roads at about 8 a.m.
Angelica Juarez, 55, of Round Lake Beach, was a back seat passenger in the sedan. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
