2 dead, 2 others seriously injured in multivehicle crash caused by truck that swerved to miss deer in Kane County
The Kane County Sheriff's Office said just before 9:45 p.m., deputies were sent to the intersection of Plank Road and Switzer Road a crash involving four vehicles.
The investigation revealed a red Ford F150 was traveling westbound on Plant Road when its 18-year-old driver tried to swerve to avoid hitting a deer. The driver, however, was unable to avoid the deer and went into oncoming traffic, narrowly missing a passing landscaping vehicle traveling eastbound, according to officials.

Detectives said the Ford F150 then hit a white GMC Sierra carrying three people and hauling a trailer and skid steer head-on. After the collision, a red Dodge Ram hit the Ford F150, resulting in the Ford F150 to catch fire.
The driver of the Ford F150, still trapped inside the truck at the time of the fire, was rescued after the driver-side window was broken out, although he suffered serious burns and fractures and was flown to Loyola Hospital for treatment, according to the sheriff's office.
Investigators said two people inside the GMC Sierra, identified as 31-year-old Erick Garcia-Porcayo and 25-year-old Rosalio Porcayo-Porcayo, were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the GMC Sierra was seriously injured and flown to Good Samaritan Hospital for treatment.
The investigation remains ongoing.

Portable sauna units worth roughly $75K stolen from owner's lot in Winnipeg
The owner of a Winnipeg sauna company is worried about his family's livelihood and the future of their business after he said three of their mobile units were stolen from a lot ahead of its busiest season for rentals. The mobile saunas, made out of cedar and resembling the shape of a barrel, were picked by a black Dodge Ram, which then drove away from the lot on Archibald Street, Amir Hamed, owner of the Backyard Barrel business, told CBC News. The theft lasted a number of hours with the first barrel seen towed on surveillance footage at around 11 p.m. Friday and the last just after 3 a.m. on Saturday, Hamed said. "I honestly never thought they would get stolen, we even had the wheel locks on them … the back doors were locked," he said. "It's really unfortunate, but we're trying to make the best of it," Hamed said. "They're each worth $25,000, so we have $75,000 roughly missing." Winnipeg police said they received a report about the incident which will be referred to the property crimes unit for a follow-up investigation. The Backyard Barrel business operates five mobile units and Hamed said the two that weren't stolen had been rented out. Hamed had been trying to sell the business to spend more time with his family. He managed to secure a buyer but the deal fell through on Friday and hours later the three mobile units were stolen from his property. While he doesn't think the sale is related to the theft, both happening on the same day is "a lot of stuff to deal with." He is afraid the saunas will be torn apart and sold in pieces. But he remains hopeful the units can be recovered without major damages before September when the demand for mobile units starts to soar as temperature begins to drop. "This is our livelihood and it's going to impact selling it drastically," Hamed said. He is encouraging people to keep an eye for the units, in case they are listed for sale online. They are trademarked and have a tin roof, a wooden stove and a panoramic window.
