The incident occured while she was driving a car when an object struck the windshield and hit her. the car continued moving, crashing through a barrier and eventually stopping a mile later.

A description of the incident explains that the vehicle that Cedillo was driving was “being towed by another vehicle… The cable between the two vehicles broke. It whipped around and sliced through the woman’s car and sliced through her skull, apparently.”

Cedillo was immediately airlifted to the Loyola University Medical Center where it is expected she will have to undergo brain surgery. She is a teller at a local bank and always had a dream of being an actress and appearing in movies.

Friends and family are praying for a full recovery.
