Police are still working to determine which driver crossed the center line.

WILL CO., IL – A 34-year-old woman died Friday in a two-vehicle collision involving a semi-truck in northwest Will County, reports Patch.

Around 12:15 p.m., emergency crews responded to a major accident along Route 53 just south of Renwick Road. This is near Lockport and Crest Hill and approximately 35 miles southwest of Chicago.

Police say that for unknown reasons, a southbound Jeep Wrangler carrying four people collided with a northbound 18-wheeler.

The driver of the Jeep, later identified as Keiri I. Gonzalez of Joliet, was thrown from the vehicle upon impact and succumbed to her injuries at an area hospital.

The other three occupants of the Jeep, a man and two minors, were hospitalized with injuries of unknown severity.

It’s unclear if the truck driver sustained injuries in the accident.

A full investigation is underway.

If you’ve lost a family member in a Will County car or truck accident caused by a reckless or inattentive driver, we know that a legal settlement is unlikely to ease your grief. Many families take comfort, however, in fighting to hold at-fault drivers accountable for their actions. For a free case evaluation, contact the Chicago personal injury attorneys at TorHoerman Law.
