The motorist killed in a two-vehicle crash at 3:45 p.m. Saturday at North 25th and Mallick roads, Oglesby, has been identified as Florence Argubright, 85, of Oglesby.

Oglesby police issued an update late Monday on the crash, which remains under investigation.

At that point, Argubright’s 2007 Hyundai Accent struck the Explorer from behind.

The driver of the Explorer and two passengers were taken to a local hospital. Names of the injured were not immediately available, but those injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.
