PEORIA, Ill. – A Peoria County teenager reportedly suffered the worst injuries in a crash in Knox County Monday morning.
Illinois State Police say a car driven by Brittney Thomas, 29, of Galesburg was northbound near the intersection of Illinois 97 and U.S. 150 in Knox County around 10:45 a.m., failed to negotiate a curve, crossed the center line, and struck a car driven by a 36-year-old woman from Elmwood head on.
Both drivers were taken to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, but a 14-year-old girl from Elmwood in the second vehicle was hospitalized with serious injuries.
Thomas was cited with counts including Aggravated Driving Under the Influence, and lesser traffic offenses.
