Both people inside the speeding Dodge Charger were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash Wednesday night in the South Side Chicago neighborhood of Chatham. Police said six adults, a 10-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl were hospitalized as a result of injuries from the wreck. All were listed in either fair or good condition.
