Second Woman Dies Following Head On Crash In Peotone Township Last Week

A GoFundMe page has been set up for the family of a 24-year-old Aurora woman who was killed in a head on crash last Thursday, September 26th in Peotone Township. The Will County Sheriff’s responded to a crash shortly before 11 a.m. and found that a the driver of a Dodge Grand Caravan driven by an 82-year-old, was westbound on Wilmington-Peotone when she crossed over the center line into oncoming traffic striking a Chevy Spark driven by 24-year-old Stacy Martinez of Aurora. The 82-year-old died while Martinez was airlifted to a Chicago hospital and died a few days later.

A family friend on the GoFundMe page says, “If this was not tragic enough, Stacy’s family was never notified of the incident or her condition and then later death until they called 911 to report her missing, as she never came home that night.”

The family will be getting a lawyer. To help with the funeral they have a goal of $10,000.
