A Chicago woman was killed and three others were severely injured in a collision late Saturday night on Interstate 65 in northwest Indiana, police said.

The driver of a 2015 Chevrolet Suburban, who didn’t realize how slow the minivan was traveling, attempted to avoid a crash by serving left, but ended up hitting the minivan’s rear driver’s side.

State police said only the minivan’s two front seats were properly installed. Five passengers were not properly restrained and were seated on boxes of mangoes, authorities said. Following the crash, Gadusu was transported to an area hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Three other passengers suffered severe injuries and were taken to local hospitals before being transferred to Chicago for additional treatment.
