Sauk Village Woman Killed in ATV Crash

A south suburban woman was killed after crashing an all-terrain vehicle into a tree Sunday near her home, authorities said.

Bridget O’Malley, 32, of 22480 Yates Ave. in Sauk Village was pronounced dead at St. Margaret Mercy Hospital in Dyer, Ind., at 9:12 p.m., according to Lake County (Ind.) Coroner’s office spokesman Jeff Wells.

O’Malley was hospitalized after crashing an ATV into a tree at 1831 225th Pl. in Sauk Village, he said.

An autopsy is scheduled for later Monday, but it appeared O’Malley suffered blunt force trauma injuries and her death appeared to be accidental, Wells said.

Sauk Village police were not immediately available for comment Monday morning.
