A 23-year-old woman was killed early Wednesday in a traffic crash on Interstate Highway 57 in south suburban Posen.

 

The woman, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was believed to have been driving erratically in the southbound lanes of the roadway when her 1997 Saturn rolled over just north of 147th Street, according to Illinois State Police. 

 

The woman, identified as Jennifer Back, 23, of Tinley Park, was pronounced dead at 2:47 a.m. at Ingalls Memorial Hospital in Harvey, said a Cook County medical examiner's office spokesman.

 

The woman was the lone occupant of the car, and no other vehicles were involved.
