It was a Mother's Day nightmare for six young children in Chicago, who woke up Sunday to learn that their mothers were killed in a horrific car wreck on the city's west side late Saturday.
Windy City cops said the four friends were speeding on Lake Street in the city's Austin neighborhood at around 11:55 p.m. when their car hit an L train support column and then crashed into a light pole, which split the vehicle in two, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Bernadette Harris, 25, Alicia Goston, 22, and Tyshyra Hines, 21, died at the scene, police said.
Ieshia Nelson, 21, was pronounced dead at around 12:45 a.m. at Mount Sinai Hospital, police said.
Harris, who worked as a nurse to the elderly, had three children, while the other women each had one, the Tribune reported.
Goston's family told the newspaper the women were on their way her grandmother's 61st birthday.
"This was the worst Mother's Day in the world," her aunt, Keke Goston, told the Tribune. "I'm the mother of four kids. I don't have a celebration bone in my body."
