A 27-year-old Aurora woman and a 32-year-old Aurora man are dead following a two-vehicle crash Sunday morning on eastbound I-290 in Forest Park.

Illinois State Police said both vehicles were traveling east near Des Plaines Avenue at approximately 4:23 a.m. when a 2013 Hyundai driven by a 19-year-old Maywood man attempted to change lanes and collided with a 2006 Chevrolet driven by the 27-year-old Aurora woman.
