Overview
- Illinois State Police say a wrong-way driver hit Watson's car head-on on Interstate 88 in Aurora, killing all three people.
- Investigators have not released the names of Watson's passenger or the other driver, and CBS reported the passenger was from DeKalb and the wrong-way driver was a 32-year-old man from Melrose Park.
- UIC identified Watson as a 21-year-old sprinter and said its staff are offering support services for students and coaches.
- Relatives said she was driving to see her mother for Mother's Day and recalled her work with at-risk youth in Seattle and her sports management studies.
- In Illinois, state police investigate crashes on interstates while county coroners confirm identities, which explains why the probe continues without full public naming.
