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.

Authorities have not yet released the identity of the deceased or the accident circumstances as the investigation continues.
