1 killed, 2 suffer life-threatening injuries in crash on rural roads southwest of Chicago
An 83-year-old woman was killed, and two others suffered life-threatening injuries, in a crash in rural Kendall County, Illinois southwest of Chicago Thursday afternoon.
The crash happened at 2:17 p.m. at Ashley and Walker roads in a farmland zone south of Yorkville. The Kendall County Sheriff's office said a car headed north on Ashley Road entered the intersection and collided with another car headed west on Walker Road.
The driver of the northbound vehicle was airlifted to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said. The passenger of that vehicle, Susan Guglielmi, 83, of Yorkville, was taken to an area hospital where she died.
Crews had to cut open the roof of the car to extricate the two people.
The driver of the westbound vehicle also suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital.
Kendall County Sheriff's office investigators responded to the scene to investigate the crash, and the intersection was closed for about four hours, police said.
The investigation continued late Thursday.
