A mother and daughter from Chicago have died following a Drake concert in St. Louis, where they were hit by a vehicle that ran a red light early Wednesday morning.

Police said the crash began when a 2020 Jeep Cherokee ran a red light and sideswiped the front of another vehicle at the intersection of 18th and Olive Streets, according to CBS affiliate KMOV and NBC affiliate KSDK.

The Jeep then struck the two women, as well as other pedestrians, while they were walking in the crosswalk before hitting a third vehicle, per the outlets.

The women — identified by reports as Laticha Bracero, 42, and Alyssa Cordova, 21 — had just left the concert that took place at the Enterprise Center, according to Michelle Del Bosque, who organized a GoFundMe campaign for victims’ surviving family members.

Captain Angela Dickerson of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police said the mother and daughter had “the right of way” when they were hit and thrown to the north sidewalk of Olive Street, according to FOX affiliate KTVI.

The mother was pronounced dead at the scene, per the reports. Her daughter died of her injuries at a hospital a short time later.

Cordova, who was Bracero’s only child, was attending college and working part time at Starbucks, Del Bosque said. She loved going to concerts, especially with her mother.

“The two were inseparable and shared a strong bond,” Del Bosque wrote on the GoFundMe page, noting that the two women came from “a close, strong family in Chicago.”

Del Bosque described Bracero, who worked as a supervisor at Wintrust Bank, as “a dedicated mother, loving sister, niece/cousin.”

“The family is currently trying to bring them home and give them the best service possible with hopes to lay them to rest amongst other family members,” she added.

The 22-year-old man driving the Jeep that hit the women was transported to a local hospital in critical condition after the crash, KSDK and KTVI reported. Three others sustained minor injuries.
