Due to the severity of the collision, the Bureau County Coroner was called to the scene around 9:25 p.m. The Illinois State Police have taken over the investigation of the accident.
2400 East Street was closed near the crash site as authorities conducted their investigation and worked to clear the scene. The circumstances leading to the crash are currently under investigation by the Illinois State Police.
