On Monday, March 1, 2021 at 10:31 a.m. the Naperville Police Department responded to the intersection of Route 59 and 103rd Street for the report of a vehicle crash. Responding units observed a passenger vehicle and a semi-tractor trailer which appeared to be involved in a rear end collision.

The vehicles involved were a silver 2007 Ford Fusion and an orange 2002 Volvo semi. The Naperville Fire Department responded to the scene and provided emergency medical attention to the driver of the Ford, who was declared deceased at the scene and later had to be extricated from the vehicle. The driver of the Ford’s name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin. The driver of the semi, a 58-year-old Plano resident, suffered minor injuries and was transported to the hospital.
