A Joliet woman died from injuries she suffered in a crash Friday afternoon that involved a semitrailer, police said.
At 12:15 p.m. Friday, officers responded to a “serious traffic crash involving a semitractor-trailer,” according to a statement from the Crest Hill Police Department.
Officers who arrived at the scene found the female driver of a Jeep Wrangler was “ejected from the vehicle,” police said.
A good Samaritan performed CPR, and a Crest Hill police officer took over until paramedics arrived, police said.
The driver, identified as Keiri I. Gonzalez, 34, of Joliet, was taken to Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, where she was pronounced dead at 1:06 p.m., according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.
An autopsy was performed Saturday. Final cause and manner will be determined after the autopsy as well as police and toxicological reports, the coroner’s office said.
A male occupant and two juvenile occupants of the Jeep Wrangler were taken to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox.
Illinois State Police were called to assist with a traffic crash reconstruction.
