MCHENRY COUNTY, IL — A 25-year-old Woodstock woman has died following a four-vehicle crash near Marengo Wednesday afternoon.

The collision happened at about 4:40 p.m. when a 2014 Kenworth semi-tractor trailer, driven by a 47-year-old Joliet man, was headed south on Illinois Route 23 nearing River Road when a 2008 Pontiac G6 failed to yield and then pulled out into the intersection, according to a news release from the McHenry County Sheriff's Office.

The driver of the G6, a 25-year-old Woodstock woman, was pronounced dead at the scene. A 2014 Nissan Rogue and 2001 Jeep Cherokee were headed north on Route 23 and also crashed into the semi and Pontiac, according to police.

The driver of the Rogue, a 63-year-old Marengo woman, was taken to Northwestern Hospital in Huntley with minor injuries. The driver and passenger of the Nissan and the semi driver were treated and released at the scene.

Alcohol is not believed to be a contributing factor to the crash.

The investigation is ongoing by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Major Traffic Crash Investigation Unit and the McHenry County Coroner’s Office.
