Authorities Work To ID Final 2 Killed In Woodstock Fatality

MCHENRY COUNTY, IL — Two of the people killed in a triple fatality near Woodstock on Sunday have still not bee identified.

Officials with the McHenry County Coroner's Office on Tuesday said they were still working to identify the two individuals who were found inside a 2021 Dodge Challenger Hellcat after it collided head on with a 2022 Volvo XC 90 at a hill crest and caught fire. Both were pronounced dead at the scene

The 47-year-old driver in the Volvo was also killed. She has been identified Amy Roeder of Woodstock, according to the coroner's office. Roeder's 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.

Meanwhile, the coroner's office is waiting on dental or DNA records to officially confirm the two others killed in the collision, Shaw Local News Network is reporting. But friends of the two young men, who have been gathering at a roadside memorial at the crash site, said the duo worked at a Harvard barbershop together.
