Chicago police reported that a 95-year-old woman died following a vehicle crash on Monday afternoon in the city’s Lower West Side. The incident occurred shortly after 5 p.m. According to the police, the woman was traveling with another passenger in a gray sedan. They headed west along the 1900 block of West 18th Street when their car collided with a stationary black truck at a traffic light.
The collision was significant enough to propel the truck into a silver sedan, which was also waiting at the traffic signal. The 95-year-old passenger, named Guadalupe Almendarez from the Clearing neighborhood, was critically injured and transported to Stroger Hospital. Unfortunately, she succumbed to her injuries shortly afterward, as confirmed by the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
The other individuals involved in the accident declined medical attention at the scene. Police stated that the Major Accidents Investigation Unit is currently looking into the details of the crash.
