Two Aurora Central Catholic High School sophomores were killed in a car crash Tuesday night.

The Ogle County coroner identified the two 16-year-old victims as Seth Egger, of Montgomery, and Allison Bradford, of Aurora.

Illinois State Police said they were on their way to a sectional high school basketball game between the ACC Chargers and Marengo in Rochelle. The crash occurred just before 6 p.m. Tuesday near the intersection of Route 38 and Dement Road.

Police are investigating the cause of the accident. A fog advisory was in effect in the area at the time of the crash.

A 2005 White Acura SUV carrying six students struck a semi driven by a 56-year-old man from Des Plaines. Two 17-year-olds and four 16-year-olds were in the Acura, driven by one of the 17-year-olds, a senior at ACC. Three others in the vehicle walked away unhurt.

Police say the Acura ran a red light going westbound on Rt. 38 and hit the semi. The teen driver was cited for running a red light.

Egger, who was in the front passenger's seat and wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene. Bradford was sitting in the back seat behind the driver and was not wearing a seat belt, according to the Ogle County coroner. She was pronounced dead at a local hospital. The driver was also injured; he is in serious condition at a hospital in Rockford.

Father F. William Etheredge, the principal of Aurora Central Catholic, arrived on the scene a few minutes after the accident. He was with the students, and he made contact with all of the families about the accident, the school said.
