Dolton woman identified as pedestrian killed in Des Plaines crash
Cook County authorities Sunday identified a 55-year-old South suburban Dolton woman as the pedestrian killed early Saturday when struck by a vehicle in the westbound lanes of Touhy Avenue in Des Plaines.
Elaine J. Marshall was pronounced dead at 6:07 a.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. She died as a result of multiple injuries caused by the crash, the medical examiner's office determined.
