An employee of Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in the Barrington area was killed this morning when a snowplow backed into her as she was walking through the hospital parking lot, officials said.
Diane Shogren, 51, of Ingleside, was pronounced dead just after 6 a.m., Lake County Coroner Thomas Rudd said.
Both she and the driver of the truck, a 2012 Ford F-450, were employees of the hospital, Lake County Sheriff Sgt. Sara Balmes said.
The snowplow backed into Shogren in one of the hospital’s parking lots as she made her way into work around 5:30 a.m., Rudd said.
Balmes said it was snowing heavily at the time and visibility was limited.
