A 92-year-old Naperville woman was killed Sunday in two-vehicle crash in Aurora.

Dorothy J. Lineback, of the 500 block of Zephyr Drive in Naperville, was traveling south on Route 59 at 3:40 p.m. Sunday when she attempted to turn left at the intersection of Route 59 and entrance 1 at the Westfield Fox Valley Mall, police said. Her sport utility vehicle was hit head on by a northbound sedan.

Lineback was taken to an area hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 4:33 p.m. Both drivers were wearing seat belts, police said, and alcohol and drugs are not believed to be a factor in the crash.

The driver of the sedan was not injured in the crash. There were no other passengers in either vehicle and the intersection was closed down until 8:30 p.m., police said.
