The teenager's car spun out of control on the snowy road early Sunday, coming to a stop before another car slammed into it, officials said.
OSWEGO, IL — An Oswego teenager was arrested and cited for consuming alcohol while underage after an early Sunday morning crash that sent him and an Aurora woman to a hospital, according to the Kendall County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies responded at 4:57 a.m. to a report of a head-on crash on Route 31 near East Anchor Drive in Oswego Township. A 30-year-old woman was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, while the 19-year-old, identified as Luke Raju, was hospitalized with serious injuries, officials said.

The other driver involved was traveling north on Route 31 when she hit his stopped car, Deputy Dan Briars told Patch.
