SPRINGFIELD —
A 37-year-old Springfield woman was killed Monday after police said she was partially ejected from her vehicle during a crash and that vehicle rolled on top of her.
Anne Marie Jones was pronounced dead at the scene, West Pleasant Street and South Western Avenue.
It was about 11 a.m. when Jones was reportedly headed south at South Western Avenue and ran a red light. She struck a red truck driven by David Holly, 47, of New Carlisle, which was headed west on West Pleasant Street through the green light, said Springfield police Lt. Jeff Meyer.
Jones’ black SUV struck the truck broadside and it caused her vehicle to flip over. Meyer said she wasn’t wearing her seat belt and her body was partially forced through the windshield. Her vehicle rolled on top of her during the crash, he said.
“This is definitely a case where wearing a seat belt would have made a difference,” Meyer said.
Holly was not treated for injuries. The intersection was closed for about five hours because of the investigation, police said. The roads were slick, but it wasn’t raining at the time of the crash. It’s not believed speed or alcohol were factors, Meyer said.
Bill Wight, who has lived at the intersection 38 years, said he’s seen many fender-benders that have been the result of people running through red lights but “this was the worst.”
“I told my wife a couple of weeks ago it’s just a matter of time somebody’s going to get killed here and now it’s happened,” he said.
The crash remains under investigation.
