Woman, 47, Killed In Triple Fatality Was School Aide, Mom

MCHENRY COUNTY, IL — One of three people killed in a fiery crash near Woodstock Sunday afternoon has been identified as a 47-year-old school aide for Woodstock School District 200.

Amy Roeder, a teacher at Westwood Elementary School, was killed in the collision, and her daughter, a 7th grader at a different school in the district, was seriously injured, ABC 7 Chicago News is reporting.

"She was a huge asset to the Westwood school community, and besides being an employee, she was a very involved parent," Kevin Lyons, spokesperson for School District 200, told ABC 7.

The collision happened at about noon on Sunday when a 2021 Dodge Challenger Hellcat was headed west on Davis Road west of Dean Street in unincorporated Woodstock and attempted to pass a 2021 Jeep Wrangler in a posted no-passing zone, according to authorities.

The Hellcat hit an eastbound 2022 Volvo XC 90 at the top of a hill crest, and the Volvo went off the roadway to the south. The Hellcat spun around while heading west and then went off the road to the north and caught fire, police said.

Two people inside the Hellcat died at the scene and have not yet been positively identified, police said Monday. Roeder was driving the Volvo and was pronounced dead at the scene. Roeder's daughter was airlifted to Loyola University Medical Center in serious condition.
