A Lisle woman was badly injured and a dog killed after the car in which they were driving struck a tree in Naperville early Saturday morning, police said.
The 20-year-old woman was driving on South Naper Boulevard about 3:45 a.m. when her 2021 Kia Forte went off the road and into a tree at Culpepper Drive, according to a Naperville Police Department release. She needed to be extricated from the vehicle and was transported to an area hospital with “significant injuries,” the release said.
A small dog inside the car was taken to a local emergency veterinarian hospital where it later died.
The roadway remained closed until 8:20 a.m. Saturday by traffic crash invesigators and reconstruction specialists, the release said. The case remains under investigation.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact the police department’s traffic unit at 630-420-8833.
