Naperville, IL (September 22, 2024) – According to local authorities, a bicyclist was killed Saturday morning in a traffic crash in Naperville, Illinois.
The Naperville Police Department said just before 10:30 a.m., officers and fire personnel arrived at the intersection of West Ogden Avenue and Royal Saint George Drive for a traffic crash involving a car and a bicyclist.
A woman was found with an apparent head injury after being struck by a green 2024 Jeep Wrangler. She was taken to a local hospital, where she later died from her injuries. Preliminary investigation indicated that the Jeep driver, a 44-year-old woman from Wheaton, was traveling westbound on Ogden Avenue when she made a left turn onto southbound Royal Saint George Drive and struck the cyclist.
Traffic crash investigators and reconstruction specialists from the Naperville Police Department’s Traffic Unit responded to the scene shortly thereafter. The roadway was closed until 2:00 p.m. No other details about the drivers involved or the events leading up to the incident were released, but an inquiry into the accident remains active.
Our deepest condolences are with the deceased woman’s family at this time.
