Kinsman, IL – A 30-year-old Huntley woman was killed and two other people suffered minor injuries Wednesday morning following a crash in unincorporated Kinsman in Grundy County, authorities said.
According to the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched at approximately 8:55 a.m. Wednesday to West Gardner Road and South Johnny Run Road for a reported two-vehicle crash.
Investigators identified the woman who died as Rosemary Bolding of Huntley. Authorities said Bolding was driving a blue 2017 Honda Civic northbound on South Johnny Run Road when she allegedly failed to stop at a posted stop sign before entering the intersection with West Gardner Road.

Bolding suffered significant injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by Grundy County Coroner John Callahan, according to the sheriff’s office. The resident of the home was inside when the crash occurred but was not injured.
The 60-year-old woman driving the Mercedes and her 64-year-old male passenger, both from Seneca, exited their vehicle and suffered minor injuries, authorities said.
The Mazon, Coal City, Braceville and Verona-Kinsman fire departments assisted deputies along with the Grundy County Coroner’s Office.
