A 22-year-old Chicago woman was killed Monday and five others were hospitalized after a three-vehicle crash in Bridgeview, authorities said.

Gloria Labra, of the 3700 block of South Homan Avenue, was pronounced dead at 4:53 p.m. at Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

The crash happened about 4:15 p.m. at 87th Street and 78th Avenue, Bridgeview police Sgt. Jeff Tippett said. At least one person in each vehicle was hurt, but the other injuries did not appear to be life-threatening, Tippett said.

He did not provide details on the accident and said police on Tuesday still were investigating the cause.
