Rose Marie Hurley

How they died

Vehic/Purs

Rose Marie Hurley had been the subject of an "attempt to locate" report in Lynwood, Ill., where she reportedly pulled a hotel fire alarm and left behind her medicine, police said. Hurley surfaced at the Pilot truck stop in Burns Harbor about 6 a.m., and employees told police she walked in without shoes and with a sheet wrapped around her lower body. Employees said she was babbling and they thought she was impaired. A Burns Harbor officer walked in to get some food, and employees told him about the woman. The officer tried to talk to the woman, but she ran to her car and took off. A chase ensued and Hurley was killed a few miles down the interstate when she swerved to try to avoid a set of tire-flattening devices police placed on the road, crashed and was ejected, police said.
