The Illinois State Police have confirmed that one person died in a two-vehicle accident Wednesday in Lawrence County.
The fatal mishap occurred Wednesday, October 28th at around 3:30 p.m. at the intersection of Illinois Route 1 and County Road 1800 North (Birds-Chauncey Blacktop) north of Lawrenceville.
A Chevrolet SUV was involved in the collision with a Buick SUV at that location.
A passenger in the Chevrolet was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver and another passenger were seriously injured and taken to a local hospital. The Buick driver was checked at the scene by emergency medical personnel with non-life threatening injuries.
The incident caused the closure of Illinois Route 1 for several hours to allow for cleanup of the wreckage. It has since reopened.
Authorities have not yet released the identity of the deceased or the accident circumstances as the investigation continues.
