October 5, 2014 Chicago Oak Lawn 11 vehicle crash kills 2 nuns Three people including 2 nuns and the suicidal driver were killed and 11 others were injured Sunday evening in a 11 vehicle crash in the Chicago suburb of Oak Lawn. Elderly driver Edward Carthans, 81, was fleeing the scene of another crash when he drove his late model F-150 truck onto oncoming cars. Catholic nuns Sister Jean Stickney, 86, and Sister Kab Kyoung "Anna" Kim, 48, both of Little Company of Mary Sisters in Evergreen Park, were killed in the crash just before 4:30 p.m. Sunday. A witness saw Carthans slumped over the wheel at a red light, but he sped after after being asked if was OK and needed help to park the vehicle, Carthans refused and drove off, hitting 3 cars but not causing serious injury. He apparently was fleeing that crash when ran the red light at 80 to 100 mph and crashed into the nuns' car, and struck several other vehicles head-on.
