Active Night On Northwest Side

First responders were busy on the Northwest side overnight. Just before 3 a.m., a car was involved in an accident with a garbage truck, killing two and injuring two others. The crash happened in Logan Square at Fullerton and Central Park when the car broadsided the private company garbage truck. The two injured victims were taken to Illinois Masonic and Northwestern Memorial Hospital; one of the two deaths was a man inside the car but it's not known if the second death was a passenger in the car or truck. Police also had their hands full with a series of fires across the Logan Square and Humboldt Park neighborhoods. At least six fires were reported overnight, all starting in trash cans but some spreading to nearby garages. [Tribune, WBBM]
