GRANT TWP. — A 41-year-old woman was killed and four others were injured Monday evening following a three-vehicle crash at a rural intersection, authorities said.

Deputies with the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the intersection of Wildcat Road and Burtch Road shortly before 5 p.m. Oct. 5 after receiving reports of a major collision.

According to preliminary investigation results, a white Dodge Journey was traveling southbound on Wildcat Road when it entered the intersection and struck a westbound black Jeep Liberty.
