Woman dies week after being thrown from car in Hyde Park crash

A woman who was hospitalized last month after being ejected from her vehicle in a crash on Lake Shore Drive in Hyde Park died about a week later.

The 25-year-old woman was driving a 2018 blue Chevrolet Malibu about 1:55 a.m. Nov. 25 northbound in the 5700 block of South Lake Shore Drive when she struck a median, Chicago police said. The woman was thrown from the car and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition.

She was pronounced dead at 1:38 p.m. Dec. 3 at the same hospital, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. An autopsy said she died of complications of multiple injuries related to the collision, and her death was ruled an accident.

The woman lived in north suburban Round Lake.
