The vehicles involved in the rear-end crash were a silver 2007 Ford Fusion and an orange 2002 Volvo semi-trailer truck. The Naperville Fire Department responded to the scene and assessed the driver of the Ford, who was declared deceased at the scene. The victim then extricated from the vehicle at a later time. The identity of the driver was initially 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.
