Lake Barrington woman dies after car drives into yard, hits trees
Posted August 17, 2023 1:00 am
A Lake Barrington woman was killed in a car crash in that suburb Wednesday, police said.
Ann Tuszynski, 87, was fatally injured about 12:45 p.m. when her Nissan Altima drove into a yard on the 100 block of Waterview Court and hit a garbage can and two trees, authorities said.
Tuszynski was pronounced dead on the scene. An autopsy conducted Thursday determined she died from injuries suffered in the crash, according to the Lake County coroner's office.
No one else was in the car or involved in the crash.
The car had sped up before leaving the roadway, authorities said, and police are investigating if Tuszynski accidentally stepped on the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal.
