SOBER-DRIVING ACTIVIST KILLED BY DUI SUSPECT

A 58-year-old mother of five who championed sober-driving programs died when a Jeep traveling at high speed slammed through her house and crushed her as she slept on the living room couch.

A man with a record of drunken-driving arrests was behind the wheel, police said. The man, who faces trial this week on an unrelated intoxicated-driving charge, was using a revoked driver's license.

Marian Wlodarski, who died at a hospital Sunday after the crash early Friday, had been active in this Chicago suburb's Safe Ride hotline program, which provides rides home to teen-agers after parties.

A week before her death, she organized an alcohol-free graduation party at a high school.
