BATAVIA, IL — The passenger of a Tesla involved in a three-car crash Wednesday afternoon in Batavia died from her injuries, police said.
A GoFundMe campaign identifies the woman as Maggie Espinosa, a Batavia teacher and mother of five children, ages 10, 8, 4 and two 2-year-old twins.
"She was a loving wife, devoted mother, and a truly beautiful soul who touched so many lives with her kindness, strength, and warmth," reads the fundraiser, which is raising money to cover funeral expenses and daily needs and provide stability for the children.
Espinosa was one of four people hospitalized after the crash between a Tesla sedan, a Dodge pickup truck and a Nissan SUV around 4:20 p.m. Wednesday at the intersection of McKee Street and Randall Road.
