A pedestrian struck was fatally struck by a semi-truck Wednesday morning in west suburban Cicero.

Tammie Ihrig, 55, was hit by the truck at 9:13 a.m. in the 5000 block of West 23rd Place, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. Ihrig was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where she died at 5:12 p.m. Thursday.

An autopsy conducted Saturday found Ihrig died from multiple injuries related to the crash, and her death was ruled an accident, the medical examiner’s office. She lived in Cicero.
