A 66-year-old woman was fatally struck by a vehicle Friday evening in west suburban Franklin Park.

About 5:45 p.m., Urszula Zielinska was walking in the 9100 block of West Grand Avenue when she was struck by an SUV, according to Franklin Park police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Zielinska, who lived in Franklin Park, was taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where she was pronounced dead at 7:41 p.m., the medical examiner’s office said. An autopsy Saturday determined she died of multiple injuries she suffered in the crash and her death was ruled an accident.

No citations or charges were immediately filed in connection with the incident, said Franklin Park Chief of Police Michael Witz.
