PEORIA COUNTY, Ill. – The Peoria County Coroner is identifying the woman from Galesburg who was on her way to work at a Peoria hospital when she died Thursday morning.
Coroner Jamie Harwood says preliminary autopsy results on Amanda Matuszyk, 42, show she died in the crash on Interstate 74 near Brimfield of multiple blunt force trauma injuries.
Illinois State Police investigators say Matuszyk and a semi both were traveling eastbound on 74 near Schlink Road when Matuszyk began to make a lane change but slid and ran off the road on the right, then moved to the left, before striking a 74-year-old driver’s semi.
Matuszyk was pronounced dead at a Peoria hospital. Harwood says she was a patient care tech at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center.
