Prosecutors say she hit an Illinois Department of Transportation truck that was on the scene of Sunday's deadly crash on Interstate 55 near Lemont Road.

They say she blew past closures and nearly ran over troopers and the bodies of those killed before taking off.

Antunez has been charged with drunk driving and multiple traffic offenses.

She is due back in court next month.
