Authorities have released the name of the person killed in a three-vehicle crash at the intersection of U.S. 31 and 9A Road Thursday afternoon. Donna Westerhausen, 79, of Tinley Park, Ill., was killed when she drove her 2007 Chevrolet Impala into the path of a southbound semi and van on U.S. 31, according to the Indiana State Police.
The collision forced both vehicles across the grass median and into the northbound lanes of U.S. 31. Westerhausen was pronounced dead at the scene as a result of injuries sustained in the crash. The other two drivers, 36-year-old Emir Domazet, of Largo, Fla. and 45-year-old Timothy Lands of Elkhart were treated at a local hospital for minor injuries.
