BARTLETT, Ill. (WLS) -- A Bartlett teen has been charged with two counts of reckless homicide in a crash that killed two other teenagers last month.
Prosecutors said on August 3, the teen was driving his mother's car in excess of 100 miles an hour near the intersection of Newport Lane and Devon Avenue when it hit a pole and rolled over.
Alex Czerwik and Cameron Kelty, both 16, died in the crash. A fourth teen was also transported to the hospital with injuries.
