Woman, 42, Killed In 4-Car Crash On Ogden Avenue: Aurora Police

AURORA, IL — A woman, 42, was killed after her car rolled over, pinning her to the road, in a four-car crash Oct. 29 on Ogden Avenue, Aurora police said Thursday.

The DuPage County Coroner's Office has not yet released her name and exact cause of death.

The crash happened at about 9:52 p.m. at the intersection of Ogden Avenue and Frontenac Street. A preliminary investigation showed a silver 2011 Volkswagen Routan was driving eastbound on Ogden, approaching Frontenac, when it collided with three cars at a traffic light. The impact caused the minivan to roll on its side, partially ejecting the woman driving through a side window and pinning her to the road, according to a news release.

Aurora Fire Department crews extricated the driver, she didn't survive her injuries, police said. She was pronounced dead at 10:12 p.m. at the scene.

The occupants of the three other cars were assessed and treated on the scene by AFD personnel but did not require further medical care or hospital transport.

"Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones affected by this tragic loss," Police Chief Keith Cross said in a statement. "Even when roads seem less busy, we urge all drivers to remain mindful of their surroundings to help prevent devastating accidents like this."

Aurora Police Department's traffic division continues its investigation into the crash. Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to call 630-256-5330 or email tips@aurora.il.us.
