A violent crash involving a motorcycle and an SUV left three people dead on Monday night.

Jeremiah Robert Gentry, 22, of Indianapolis, was identified to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office as one of two brothers riding a motorcycle that ran a red light at South Indianapolis Avenue and South Avenue B in the city’s East Side neighborhood around 10:20 p.m. Monday. Gentry and his brother, 32-year-old Joshua Lee Gentry, were pronounced dead at the scene, the medical examiner’s office said.

The eastbound motorcycle slammed into an SUV that was turning left onto Avenue B, causing the SUV to roll onto its side. Jamie Trickle, a 35-year-old woman who was riding in the SUV, was pronounced dead at the scene. The 28-year-old woman driving the SUV was rushed to Advocate Christ Medical Center in critical condition.

Investigators believe speed may have played a role in the crash. The Chicago Police Department’s Major Accident Investigations Unit is handling the case.
