Coroner says Illinois woman who killed 7 people on I-90 was intoxicated

A coroner said on Monday that the Illinois woman who killed seven people while driving the wrong way down Interstate 90 was intoxicated. The woman also died in the accident.

A woman who drove the wrong way on Interstate 90 in northern Illinois, causing a crash that killed a family of six and a 13-year-old family friend, was intoxicated at the time, a coroner said Monday.

Jennifer Fernandez, 22, of Carpentersville, who also died in the crash, had a blood-alcohol level of 0.164 percent, more than twice the legal standard for intoxication, McHenry County Coroner Michael Rein said.

The July 31 crash occurred around 2 a.m. on Interstate 90 in McHenry County, roughly 50 miles from Chicago.

Fernandez, driving an Acura TSX, was driving in the wrong direction "for unknown reasons" before striking the van in the westbound lanes of I-90, police said, adding that both vehicles were "engulfed in flames."
