CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - Dozens of friends and fellow cheerleading families gathered on Chicago’s northwest side Monday night to remember a Rolling Meadows mother and five children killed in a wrong-way crash on the Jane Addams last weekend.
Balloons with pink hearts and red stars went up over Oriole Park, released to the cheer count of 5-6-7-8 by dumbstruck and grieving friends of the Dobosz family. Cindy Cisneros talked with CBS 2 about her friend Lauren Dobosz, a cheer coach for the Oriole Park Falcons and who died early Sunday, her husband Tom who is still in the hospital with serious injuries.
“They have the greatest kids, sweetest kids ever. It’s unimaginable what’s happened to them,” Cisneros said.
31-year-old Lauren was killed when the family’s van, on its way to a vacation in Minnesota, was hit head-on by an Acura going the wrong way on I-90 near Hampshire, state police said. Also killed were the Doboszes’ four children, 13-year-old Emma, 8-year-old Lucas, 7-year-old Nicky, and 5-year-old Ella – plus a 13-year-old friend, identified as Kat Koziara, and the driver of the Acura, 22-year-old Jennifer Fernandez of Carpentersville.
