WILLIAMSON CO., Ill. - A two-car collision on Illinois Route 37 at Lake of Egypt Road sent one driver to an area hospital with non-incapacitating injuries earlier today.
Illinois State Police in District 13 DuQuoin advise that the accident occurred at 2:46 p.m. this afternoon, Friday, October 19.
At that time, a 2004 Chevrolet Impala being driven by Shanta K. Bell, 33 of Ullin, and a 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe being driven by Diane L. Cavender, 49, of Johnston City, were both southbound on 37 at LOE Road with the Tahoe leading the Impala.
The Tahoe was stopped in traffic waiting to turn eastbound onto Lake of Egypt Road. The Impala struck the rear end of the Tahoe. Damage to the Impala made tow removal necessary.
Cavender was transported via ambulance to a local hospital with non-incapacitating injuries; Bell was cited for Failure to Reduce Speed to Avoid a Crash.
