St. Charles woman killed by car after celebrating birthday in Florida
A St. Charles woman who had celebrated her 80th birthday at a Florida restaurant died after being struck by a car in the valet lane, the Naples Daily News reported.
Carol Ryan died Wednesday night at NCH North Naples Hospital. The two-vehicle crash happened about 7:30 that evening outside the Vanderbilt Beach Resort, which houses The Turtle Club restaurant, in North Naples.
A valet employee was helping her into a Buick driven by Norman Racine, 82, of St. Charles when a BMW driven by John Rodd Glancy, 66, of North Naples rear-ended the Buick and then struck both Ryan and the valet, according to the report.
Glancy was cited on suspicion of careless driving, authorities said.
